Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Problem of Atlantis' is a foundational scholarly examination of one of the most enduring mysteries in human history. Written by the noted mythologist Lewis Spence, this work seeks to move the discussion of the lost continent beyond the realm of pure myth and into the sphere of serious historical and scientific inquiry. Spence meticulously evaluates the evidence for a sunken landmass in the Atlantic, drawing upon diverse fields such as geology, biology, and comparative mythology to support the theories first proposed by Plato.The text explores the striking cultural similarities between the civilizations of the Old World and the New, suggesting that Atlantis served as a prehistoric bridge that facilitated the transmission of early human culture. From the pyramids of Egypt to the temples of Central America, Spence argues that these shared traditions point toward a common Atlantean heritage. By analyzing geological shifts and the migration patterns of flora and fauna, the author provides a compelling framework for the existence of a mid-Atlantic continent that vanished in a prehistoric cataclysm. 'The Problem of Atlantis' remains a classic of ancient mystery literature, offering a rigorous yet accessible exploration of the origins of civilization and the secrets hidden beneath the ocean's depths.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very good copy of the first edition (1924) of Lewis Spence's well-known study of Atlantis. Spence argues that Atlantis merits investigation as a possible historical reality rather than dismissal as pure legend, drawing on comparative mythology, folklore and the scientific theories of his day. The pages are overwhelmingly clean and bright, with some tanning to the front and rear free endpapers. Page 131 has a little browning at the top and bottom, presumably from an object having been laid in the book (see photographs). The front free endpaper bears a very small signature, and the front pastedown has a small bookseller's sticker. The red boards remain clean and bright, with some light, age-related wear to the head and tail of the spine, slight corner crimping and minor general wear. The binding is excellent. All illustrations are present and correct. A very good copy, not commonly encountered in this condition. Please study the photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. All images show the actual book offered for sale; we never use stock photographs. Additional photographs are available on request, and we are always happy to answer any questions.
