03.12: Meet Me in Atlantis: My Obsessive Quest to Find the Sunken City
2015-02-14 01:01:37| Powells Books Events Calendar
A few years ago, Mark Adams, author of Turn Right at Machu Picchu, made a strange discovery: everything we know about the lost city of Atlantis comes from the work of one man, the Greek philosopher Plato. Then he made a second, stranger discovery: amateur explorers are still actively searching for this sunken city, based entirely on the clues Plato left behind. Meet Me in Atlantis (Dutton) is Adams's enthralling account of his quest to solve one of history's greatest mysteries; a travelogue that takes readers to fascinating locations to meet irresistible characters; and a deep, often humorous look at the human longing to rediscover a lost world.
