COSIMO CLASSICS The Smoky God by Willis George Emerson
The city of Eden is located in what seems to be a beautiful valley yet in fact it is on the loftiest mountain plateau of the Inner Continent several thousand feet higher than any portion of the surrounding country. It is the most beautiful place I have ever beheld in all my travels. In this elevated garden all manner of fruits vines shrubs trees and flowers grow in riotous profusion. from The Smoky God One of the oddest books ever written this 1908 work purports to tell the tale of Norwegian sailor Olaf Jansen who claims to have visited the hollow insides of the Earth through an opening in the North Pole. This land in which Jansen is said to have lived for two years is a paradise inhabited by willowy humans and magnificent creaturessuch as 100footlong elephants and 20footwide tortoisesa utopia to which we surfacedwelling humans can only aspire. A classic of the literature of the weird The Smoky God will intrigue everyone fascinated by paranormal theories of alternate realities hidden truths and the lost histories of humanity.
