Synopsis

The Best, most complete version of this cult classic.First published in 1895, this work has survived as a cult book. It starts with an occult student who is surprised by a ghostly, uninvited guest, who came to unveil his past as a member of a secret society which he betrayed; his punishment for this? A journey inside the hollow earth, to slowly abandon his humanity and to be a keeper of knowledge and something else... A journey to ETIDORHPA.To say this is an early science fiction narrative wouldn't be enough, to add that this is a fantastic story about an initiate’s journey to the earth's interior, a compendium of scientific hypothesis that goes from geology to metaphysics, an illustration of the miseries and hopes of men; that would, at least, be a better example to describe this singular work, inasmuch as this great narration contains multiple layers of interpretation.This Extended Edition includes:Three extra chapters from a 1901 edition (not found on other modern reprints!)Five pages of an incomplete Etidorhpa sequel by John Uri Lloyd.Fully illustrated. 65B&W illustrations. Including all illustrations from previous editionsCan you discover the hidden messages in Etidorhpa?★★★★★

I recently acquired a rare first edition of this book, published by the author, complete with John Uri Lloyd's signature and side notes. I had already read the book before I got my hands on it, but I was eager to read it again. The book tells the story of two people: A man named Llewellyn Drury and a......more

The master within keeps telling me to hunt for caves to get out of 5G, Star Link, and the other vibration disturbing technologies now stunting all of mankind. Luckily I live next door to two national forests so my search continues. I don't want to find middle earth, just a meditation spot for astral......more

I finally finished "Etidorpha" after having had the book (off and on) for forty years, give or take a year! Extremely complex read and at times difficult to comprehend...partly spiritual, lots of science especially pharmacology*, physics, and biology, fantasy, and more. I think it could be read more......more
