What is Atlantis : Lost Lands, Ancient Wisdom about?

[bookmarks added]Atlantis, the island continent that vanished under the sea, is one of the most haunting themes of legend. It has preoccupied thinkers for more than two thousand years, from Plato to Rudolf Steiner. Prehistorians have seen Atlantis as the fountainhead of all civilization; mystics have had revelations about it; archaeologists have claimed to locate it – sometimes in surprising places. In lost lands, ancient wisdom, highly-respected historian Geoffrey Ashe explores the myth of Atlantis, carefully considering the meanings attributed to it and the persistence of these through art, allegory and symbolism. This is a fascinating and scholarly book, ideal for anyone interested in mythology, ancient history, art and philosophy. Born in London in 1923, Geoffrey Ashe is a distinguished British medievalist and cultural historian. Educated at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, and at Cambridge, he has written numerous books, many focused on the Arthurian legend. In 1963 he became a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and he was awarded an MBE in 2012.
