Riassunto

When an airship crashes in Mid-Atlantic, the few survivors find themselves dazed and apparently alone on a vast beach. The three, Clair Stranlay, a young Londoner and the author of deliciously decadent romances, Sir John Mullaghan, an arms manufacturer, and Keith Sinclair, an idealistic American, venture inland and stumble upon animals extinct thousands of years before. When they are confronted with a group of hunters they can scarcely believe their situation: they have travelled 25,000 years back in time, to the lost continent of Atlantis. Lewis Grassic Gibbon's classic adventure story offers a dreamlike vision of prehistoric life and opens up new vistas to the imagination.

It would be impossible to overestimate Lewis Grassic Gibbon's importance . . . --David Kerr Cameron

L'autore:

Lewis Grassic Gibbon (James Leslie Mitchell) was one of the finest writers of the twentieth century. Born in Aberdeenshire in 1901, he died at the age of thirty-four. He was a prolific writer of novels, short stories, essays and science fiction, and his writing reflected his wide interest in religion, archaeology, history, politics and science. The Mearns trilogy, 'A Scot's Quair', is his most renowned work, and has become a landmark in Scottish literature. His novel 'Sunset Song', one of the Scot s Quair trilogy, was voted number one in the List/Orange Best Scottish Books of All Time.
