Publisher's Summary
This Extended Edition is the most complete version you will find.
First published in 1895, this work has survived as a cult book. It starts with an occult student who is surprised by a ghostly, uninvited guest, who came to unveil his past as a member of a secret society which he betrayed; his punishment for this? A journey inside the hollow earth, to slowly abandon his humanity and to be a keeper of knowledge and something else… A journey to ETIDORHPA.
To say this is an early science fiction narrative wouldn’t be enough, to add that this is a fantastic story about an initiate’s journey to the earth’s interior, a compendium of scientific hypothesis that goes from geology to metaphysics, an illustration of the miseries and hopes of men; that would, at least, be a better example to describe this singular work, inasmuch as this great narration contains multiple layers of interpretation.
This Extended Edition includes:
Three extra chapters from a 1901 edition (not found on other modern reprints!)
