The Smoky God (Illustrated): or a voyage to the inner world : collector edition

By Willis George Emerson

Step into the heart of one of the most enduring and intriguing alternative theories of our time: the Hollow Earth. The Smoky God, written by Willis George Emerson and first published in 1908, is a compelling blend of adventure, mysticism, and early science fiction that has captivated readers for over a century. This astonishing narrative presents itself as the true account of Olaf Jansen, a Norwegian sailor who, after venturing beyond the North Pole with his father, discovers a vast subterranean realm inside the Earth. This inner world is bathed in the glow of a "Smoky" central sun, home to a highly evolved civilization, untouched by war, disease, or corruption. The inhabitants, giants in stature and intellect, live in harmony with nature and possess knowledge long lost to the surface world. At the crossroads of mythology and metaphysical exploration, Emerson's novel taps into the Hollow Earth theory--the belief that our planet is not a solid mass but contains vast inner landscapes, secret civilizations, and even alternate dimensions. This concept has fueled the imagination of adventurers, theorists, and truth-seekers for generations and continues to thrive in contemporary esoteric and speculative circles. Now brought to life with fully restored color illustrations, this English original edition immerses the reader even deeper into its visionary journey, making it an essential addition to the library of any fan of classic speculative fiction, hidden history, or fringe science.
