Oceania. Historia zaginionego kontynentu

Mór Jókai

Wielki filozof klasycznej Grecji, Platon, wspomina w swoich pismach o osobnej części świata, której historycy i geografowie szukali gdzieś na morzu między Wyspą Świętej Heleny a brzegami Afryki. Poeci i filozofowie nazywali ją w starożytności Atlantydą, Oceanią, Szczęśliwymi Wyspami, Ziemią Hiperborejską. Do dziś owa mityczna kraina, która miała być miejscem istnienia rozwiniętej cywilizacji zniszczonej przez serię trzęsień ziemi i zatopionej przez wody morskie, rozpala emocje wielu. O zagładzie tego mitycznego lądu opowiada właśnie znakomita powieść popularnego węgierskiego pisarza Móra Jókaiego.
