Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition. Octavo, pp. [1-6] 1-258, fly leaves at front and rear, original decorated blue cloth, front and spine panels stamped in black. This issue without the seven inserted plates found in some copies is generally thought to be part of a remainder issue. However, it is more likely that these copies are part of a second or… later printing of the book as pagination and make up of the signatures differ from those of the first printing. These later copies never had the inserted illustrations by Blumenschein or the leaf with "list of illustrations" (pages 7-8 of the preliminaries in the first printing). There are other variations, including no advertising leaves following page 258. A well-known lost race novel, regarded by many to be a minor classic of the genre. A quartet of explorers in a hot-air balloon drift and crash in an unexplored part of the Arctic, where they find, in a sort of hollow earth, a Norse colony, a pit with fantastic creatures, a ghoulish system of human sacrifice, and adventures aplenty. The story also involves what one could call a lost-race-within-a-lost-race. An excellent recreation of the Nordic zeitgeist. "Bennet's description of an expedition's thrust northward from Franz Joseph Land in 1896 provided one of the most realistic passages in the genre. THYRA pictured the full horror of Arctic exploration." - Clareson, The Emergence of American Science Fiction: 1880-1915, pp. 146-47. "One of the better early lost-race novels." - Bleiler, Science-Fiction: The Early Years 171. [Reference: Angenot and Khouri, "An International Bibliography of Prehistoric Fiction," SFS, VIII (March 1981), 41. Clareson, Science Fiction in America, 1870s-1930s 062. Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 31. Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1516-1985, p. 124. In 333. Bleiler (1978), p. 20. Reginald 01098]. Cloth minutely rubbed at head and tail of spine panel and several corners, a near fine, bright copy. A very attractive copy. (14272).

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Review by Darius M. Klein: "A Classic of the Genre" is how Jessica Salmonsen has described this work. Robert Ames Bennet was primarily a writer of Westerns, but also wrote two Lost Race romances, one of which is "Thyra: A Romance of the Polar Pit".… The plot concerns a group of explorers who fly in a balloon to the North Pole, where they discover, via an opening, that the earth is indeed hollow. Once inside the earth they encounter Viking and Neanderthal communities, along with survivals of Mesozoic megafauna. "Thyra" manages to intertwine the Utopian Lost Race and Lost World subgenres into a single, action-packed plot which never meanders or digresses. The first Viking community upon which the heroes stumble after they enter the bowels of the Earth (and where they find the eponymous heroine) is an unlikely Christian-Socialist Utopia. As they penetrate further into the Earth's interior, they encounter those Vikings who have given themselves over to idolatry and human sacrifice, along with a community of stereotypically aggressive and bestial Neanderthals. At the novel's climax, they have a perilous close encounter with some demonic prehistoric reptiles in the Hela Pool (a particularly well-written scene). The copy of this work which I obtained is a photocopy of the microfilm of the original 1901 edition, which has delightfully quaint illustrations; I don't know if they have been reproduced in the "Lost Race and Adult Fantasy Fiction" series' edition. Mr. Bennet's other Lost Race Romance, "The Bowl of Baal", also combines Lost Race and Lost World motifs, and is recommended here. Of the two, however, "Thyra" is the better.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the stark, unforgiving expanse of the polar regions, where the line between survival and surrender blurs with each icy gust, an extraordinary tale unfolds. Here, amidst the relentless Arctic survival themes, a romance ignites-a beacon… of warmth against the chilling backdrop of nature's most formidable theatre. Set in the early 1900s, this exploration narrative captures the essence of love and adversity, drawing readers into a world where human versus nature is not just a struggle, but a profound journey of the spirit.This early 20th century fiction, long out of print, resurfaces through the dedicated efforts of Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations, it invites both adventure seekers and historical fiction fans to rediscover a forgotten gem. The narrative resonates with the same timeless allure that captivates Jack London readers, offering a vivid glimpse into an era where exploration was both perilous and poetic.More than a mere reprint, this edition stands as a collector's item and a cultural treasure. It is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling, bridging past and present through its evocative depiction of the polar regions setting. As a piece of literary history, it not only enriches classic collections but also speaks to the heart of anyone drawn to tales of courage and resilience.
