Meet the Book
This is the book’s own stage: the narrator stands on the stage and reads Donnelly’s 1882 book aloud in Lessac’s voice — the close of Part IV, where the mythologies of the old world finish remembering Atlantis, and the whole of Part V, the colonies of Atlantis planted across both worlds, closing with Atlantis Reconstructed — while Donnelly’s own maps cross behind him.

What’s Inside
- The close of Part IV: The Mythologies of the Old World a Recollection of Atlantis — Odin and the northern gods, and the memories of Atlantis carried in the mythologies of the world.
- Donnelly’s Part V complete: The Colonies of Atlantis — Egypt, Peru, Mexico, Ireland, Africa, China and the rest of the daughter lands, closing with Chapter XI, Atlantis Reconstructed, where Donnelly rebuilds the lost empire as he believed it stood.
- About 4 hours 40 minutes of narration — Lessac reads the book aloud in English, page by page, in a reading room you can follow with your eyes, while the narrator stands talking on the stage.
- Donnelly’s own maps — the Profile of Atlantis, the deep-sea sounding charts, and the Empire of Atlantis stand whole in the gallery; Kircher’s 1665 map of Atlantis is shown separately and labeled as context, not Donnelly’s.

This is Ignatius Donnelly, Atlantis: The Antediluvian World (Harper & Brothers, 1882), presented as a talking hologram book. An honest word, printed on this book’s face as it is in its disclaimer: the words are the dead man’s own — nothing added, nothing taken away. What Donnelly argues is what he believed; his claims are presented as he made them, not as proven fact — the weighing of them is left to you, the reader. The Bermuda Triangle, which came along in the 1960s, is not in this book and is no part of Donnelly’s account. The narration is a synthesized English reading (Piper — Lessac) of this text, made for this edition. Editor: Franklin Langston.
