Présentation de l'éditeur :
"The Smoky God", an entertaining adventure, is also an essential text for all interested in the Hollow Earth theory. Most modern takes on this unique theory of the occult/paranormal come from Willis George Emerson's recounting of one Olaf Jansen, a Norwegian sailor who, on his deathbed, relates his incredible ocean odyssey with his father as they sail through an opening into the earth's interior and encounter the highly advanced inhabitants of Agharta. "The Smokey God" describes their adventures amongst the inhabitants, with whom they stayed for two years before returning to the surface and enduring tragedy. An entertaining story regardless of what one believes, "The Smoky God" is makes for an incredible story, though not more so than most. Olaf Jansen isn't the only person to speak of Agharta, just the only person to have ever supposedly visited such a kingdom, seen it with his own eyes, and returned to tell the tale. The utopia-like kingdom of Agharta is a motif that appears in most ancient myths: Shangri-La, the Valhalla of Norse mythology, the kingdom of Belovodia in Siberian shamanism(see "Entering the Circle" by Olga Kharitidi), and Shambhalla of Tibet. In "TSG", Shambhalla is described as the capital of Agharta, where Olaf Jansen and his father meet with the ruler of the inner realm. Regardless of belief or interpretation, if you like a good story and a daring adventure, "The Smoky God" won't leave you disappointed.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
The Smoky God tells the purportedly true tale of a Norwegian sailor Olaf Jansen's discovery of an entryway into the hollow Earth. After discovering the entrance at the North Pole, Jansen remained with the dwellers of the underground world for two years. First published in 1908, The Smoky God is an early classic civilization in the hollow Earth genre. "The story is practically the diary of Olaf Jansen, and tells of his strange theory of another world within the crust of our visible globe of everyday knowledge. How he found this mysterious world and what occurred while there makes a tale of rare interest. To tell too much of the plot would break the spell for those who have not read the book; suffice to say that it equals Mr. Emerson's other works
