Two landmark works by the visionary 19th-century writer and politician Ignatius Donnelly, bound in one volume.

The Destruction of Atlantis revives the Platonic legend with sweeping historical and geological evidence, arguing that a lost Atlantic civilization was the true cradle of human culture. Ragnarok: The Age of Fire and Gravel extends Donnelly's catastrophist vision, proposing that a comet struck the ancient Earth, triggering the cataclysms embedded in myth and geological record worldwide. Essential reading for students of lost civilizations, comparative mythology, and the history of alternative science. Steiner Books edition.
