Synopsis :

The best and most complete version of this cult classic.
First published in 1895, this work has survived as a cult book. It begins with an occult student who is surprised by a ghostly, uninvited guest. This guest comes to unveil his past as a member of a secret society that he betrayed. His punishment? A journey inside the hollow earth, gradually abandoning his humanity to become a keeper of knowledge and something else... A journey to ETIDORHPA.
To say this is an early science fiction narrative would not suffice. To add that it is a fantastic story about an initiate's journey to the earth's interior, a compendium of scientific hypotheses ranging from geology to metaphysics, and an illustration of the miseries and hopes of men would be a better way to describe this singular work. This excellent narration contains multiple layers of interpretation.
This Extended Edition includes:

• Three extra chapters from a 1901 edition (not found in other modern reprints!)
• Five pages of an incomplete Etidorhpa sequel by John Uri Lloyd.
• Fully illustrated with 65 black and white illustrations, including all illustrations from previous editions.
