A Strange Discovery

“A Strange Discovery” is a fascinating sequel to Edgar Allan Poe’s enigmatic tale of Arthur Gordon Pym. Set in the icy reaches of Antarctica, the story follows two explorers who discover a hidden, utopian civilization descended from ancient Romans, thriving in the unexplored southern polar regions. As the explorers learn the history and customs of this lost society, they are drawn into philosophical reflections on civilization, ethics, and human destiny. With its blend of speculative fiction, adventure, and social commentary, Charles Romyn Dake’s novel offers both intellectual intrigue and old-fashioned storytelling.
"A Strange Discovery" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1899.
