Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Poseidon's Paradise: The Romance of Atlantis" by Elizabeth G. Birkmaier is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set in the mythological paradise of Atlantis, focusing on its lavish culture, intricate politics, and impending conflict with the neighboring land of Pelasgia. Key characters include King Atlano, who is set on waging war to assert Atlantis' imperial dominance, and Queen Atlana, who finds herself fearing for their realm and her own heart. The opening of the book introduces the reader to a vibrant Atlantis during the summer season, where a gathering of the nation's captains is underway to celebrate their recent endeavors. This significant yearly event is disrupted by growing tensions and rumors of a menacing power emerging from Pelasgia, which forces King Atlano to declare war. As captains recount tales of their conquests and express their loyalty to the king, the atmosphere shifts from festive celebration to foreboding chaos, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of conflict and the struggle for power. The queen’s apprehension about the war complicates her relationship with King Atlano, as her concerns for the lives of their people clash with his ambition to conquer.
