Lost Island of Atlantis

The most durable rumor in history. Edward Taylor Fletcher takes up Atlantis seriously: what Plato actually wrote, what later writers made of it, and the long trail of speculation about a drowned civilization beyond the pillars. You will discover a short, learned, entertaining survey of an idea that refuses to die, from a nineteenth century scholar with a taste for the improbable. The island that was never there, and never went away. Press play and go looking.
