The History of Atlantis

This work, originally published in 1927, is a comprehensive and factual summary and analysis of the historical, mythological, anthropological, scientific and archaeological evidence, available at the time it was written, concerning Atlantis. Its starting point is the work of Plato who provides a very detailed account of Atlantis and who made it very clear that he was not writing fiction. Though never accepted by the mainstream scholars, who generally reject the idea that Atlantis ever existed outside mythology, it is a serious work of scholarship, not a fanciful journey into the occult.. This Chronicon Books edition is a full and faithful transcription of Lewis Spence's original book.
