The Smokey God

The narrative follows Olaf Jensen, a Norwegian sailor who, on his deathbed, shares his incredible journey to the Earth's core via a North Pole entrance. He encounters 12-foot-tall beings living in a city believed to be the original Garden of Eden, illuminated by a smokey sun. This tale intertwines with the Hollow-Earth theory and explores the mythos of Agharta, connecting it to various cultural legends like Valhalla and Shangri-la. Written by Willis George Emerson and published in 1908, this book offers both entertainment and insight into early speculative fiction.
