Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books L'Atlantide

In 1903 Lieutenant Olivier Ferrières of the French army welcomes Captain de Saint-Avit as the new commandant of his post in Algeria. Shunned by his fellow officers, the captain has been accused of the brutal murder of his friend Lieutenant Morhange, when the two were lost alone in the desert. To Ferrières’s horror, Saint-Avit soon confesses to the crime, unveiling a shocking tale of lost worlds, lust, murder, and the enslavement of desire in a forgotten desert kingdom—Atlantis! Antinea, the queen of Atlantis, seeks to destroy and imprison the men in her net through her beauty and cruelty, enshrining their electroplated bodies in a fantastic hall, assigning each doomed lover a number and a plaque in his memory. Caught in this web, Saint-Avit and Morhange attempt to escape until love, passion, and jealousy threaten their friendship and their very lives. For only one man has ever captured the heart of Antinea, and no one escapes the queen of Atlantis.

Criticize Regarding Books L'Atlantide

Sort of an inferior SHE....but still kind of fun to read, even though it was predictable.

Somewhere, in a remote region of the Sahara desert, there, still hides a Queen and her servants, taking refuge inside caves. Shes a well-educated beautiful woman, a polyglot yet, for men seeking after her charms, shes fatal. She is queen Antinea, the sovereign of the Hoggar. Youre in the Blad-el-Khouf: the country of the fear. She is the last descendant of Atlantis kings lineage; the offspring of Neptune and Clito. Its written in the book of Benoit that, though sinking, Atlantis center isle

Please understand that I am a fan not only of scifi from this period, but also of French literature--see my other Goodreads reviews and you'll appreciate why my poor rating for this novel is somewhat shocking to me. But it is honest. First of all, when I was 20% into the novel and yet still didn't know what was going on, I knew there was more than a problem than just with the translation from the original French. It was a problem with the author himself. Benoit is guilty of being too pompous to

Hell hath no fury like Antinea! In some ways this is a weird recipe. It's from 1920 and has some superficial resemblance to H. Rider Haggard's She. There's also parallels to Clark Ashton Smith and strong echoes to Tony Scott's 1983 opus The Hunger (I'd mention Whitley Strieber, but I never read his book and don't know how much of it was in that film). Atlantida is a French military man recounting the circumstances under which he killed a fellow soldier during a expedition in the Sahara in the

Esta es una historia de aventuras, de exploradores, en la que se cruza un amor semidivino (por lo único y especial de este). Es la historia de siempre muy bien contada (amor, peligro, belleza), que nos evoca imágenes románticas del desierto (y terribles), sentimientos irrefrenables y una intriga, un misterio y un secreto perdido en medio del desierto.***Great desert exploration story that stumbles upon a magnetic and misterious love. Totally worth it.



Lu vers 11/13 ans cette histoire mavait fait une forte impression. Exotisme et mystère, amour et mort, ce court roman, furtif comme un mirage en plein désert, se lit dune traite. Je ne me souvenais pas de sa briéveté, et cest le seul point qui me déçoit à la relecture, je laurais voulu plus long. Mais quelle joie de le relire !
