About this book

"A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder" by James De Mille is a novel published in 1888. A British sailor discovers a prehistoric Antarctic world sustained by volcanic heat, inhabited by ancient creatures and the Kosekin—a death-worshiping society that inverts Victorian values. Poverty is treasured over wealth, darkness preferred to light, and death celebrated over life. This satirical fantasy, written years before publication, pioneered the "Lost World" genre while offering a topsy-turvy critique of nineteenth-century civilization.
