Books like Atlantis and Lemuria - 1911 by Rudolf Steiner

A teenage quest to save their lives from a mysterious genetic condition.

A young teenage boy discovers his connection to an ancient civilization and becomes part of a dangerous quest to save the world from environmental destruction and alien invasion, while facing his own troubled past in a harsh and dangerous camp environment.

"During the nineteenth century, Lemuria was imagined as a land that once bridged India and Africa but disappeared into the ocean millennia ago, much like Atlantis. A sustained meditation on a lost place from a lost time, this book is the first to explore Lemuria's incarnations across cultures, from Victorian-era science to Euro-American occultism to colonial and postcolonial India. The Lost Land of Lemuria widens into an exploration of the poetics and politics of loss to consider how this sentiment manifests itself in a fascination with vanished homelands, hidden civilizations, and forgotten peoples. More than a consideration of nostalgia, it shows how ideas once entertained but later discarded in the metropole can travel to the periphery - and can be appropriated by those seeking to construct a meaningful world within the disenchantment of modernity."--BOOK JACKET.

"Exciting new evidence is revealed for the first time in this unique investigation into the lost civilization of Atlantis. Learn about the latest deep-sea expeditions, from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean seas, from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, and the startling discoveries made by scientists on the ocean floor. Out of these new finds emerges an expansive panorama of past civilizations."--Jacket.
