The discovery of an explorer’s journal from long ago reveals an epic adventure of magic and danger in this middle grade fantasy series debut. Archaeologists have recently discovered fragments from a journal kept by one Ven Polypheme. They tell of his remarkable travels through the known and unknown world. Ven’s original journals are reproduced in this book. Great care has been taken to reconstruct the parts that did not survive . . . Charles Magnus Ven Polypheme—known as Ven—is the youngest son of a long line of famous shipwrights. He dreams not of building ships, but of sailing them to far-off lands where magic thrives. Ven gets his chance when he is chosen to direct the Inspection of his family’s latest ship—and sets sail on the journey of a lifetime. After surviving an attack by fire pirates, Ven is rescued by a passing ship on its way to the Island of Serendair. But these seemingly chance events may be part of someone’s grand design. Shadowy figures are hunting for the famed Floating Island, the only source of the mystical Water of Life. They think Ven can lead them to this treasure. And they will stop at nothing to get it—even murder.

One's search can sometimes go from one extreme to another. l and my fellows start off on our voyage researching a lost culture that had evolved at the Eye of Africa in Mauritania. When the Sahara had dried at the end of the Holocene Maximum the peoples of the western part of the Saharan savanna had congregated here and by a nearby river to escape the desert. Much like what happened in Egypt in the Eastern Sahara. These people gathered here evolved their own culture and started to sail out into the Atlantic finding the North Atlantic gyre becoming adept seafarers. What we found was that more drying and other disasters struck this culture, causing them to increasingly take to the sea and evolving floating islands in their dwindling rivers delta. In the end these islands took completely to the sea along with the entire culture becoming seaborne. What became clear to us from following the trail of this culture to Bermuda, the Azores and Madeira was that they had moved their floating islands to the calm waters of the Sargasso Sea building of floating culture here. We find that this oceanic culture had had contact with the bronze age cultures of the Eastern Mediterranean and been part of the trade network that sustained the bronze age cultures. This oceanic culture built on floating islands in the middle of the world ocean had been the basis of the myth of a great ocean kingdom that disappeared in a cataclysmic disaster. Thus, being the actual Atlantis described by Plato. Finally, we uncover that there is a clear connection between the fall of this culture of Atlantis and the sea peoples that arrived in the Eastern Mediterranean during the bronze age collapse.

Oxford Textual Perspectives is a series of informative and provocative studies focused upon literary texts (conceived of in the broadest sense of that term) and the technologies, cultures, and communities that produce, inform, and receive them. It provides fresh interpretations of fundamental works and of the vital and challenging issues emerging in English literary studies. By engaging with the materiality of the literary text, its production, and reception history, and frequently testing and exploring the boundaries of the notion of text itself, the volumes in the series question familiar frameworks and provide innovative interpretations of both canonical and less well-known works. The Aesthetics of Island Space discusses islands as central figures in the modern experience of space. It examines the spatial poetics of islands in literary texts, from Shakespeare's The Tempest to Ghosh's The Hungry Tide, in the journals of explorers and scientists such as James Cook and Charles Darwin, and in Hollywood cinema. It traces the ways in which literary and cinematic islands have functioned as malleable spatial figures that offer vivid perceptual experiences as well as a geopoetic oscillation between the material energies of words and images and the energies of the physical world. The chapters focus on America's island gateways (Roanoke and Ellis Island), visions of tropical islands (Tahiti and imagined South Sea islands), the islands of the US-Canadian border region in the Pacific Northwest, and the imaginative appeal of mutable islands. It argues that modern voyages of discovery posed considerable perceptual and cognitive challenges to the experience of space, and that these challenges were negotiated in complex and contradictory ways via poetic engagement with islands. Discussions of island narratives in postcolonial theory have broadened understanding of how islands have been imagined as geometrical abstractions, bounded spaces easily subjected to the colonial gaze. There is, however, a second story of islands in the Western imagination which runs parallel to this colonial story. In this alternative account, the modern experience of islands in the age of discovery went hand in hand with a disintegration of received models of understanding global space. Drawing on and rethinking (post-)phenomenological, geocritical, and geopoetic theories, The Aesthetics of Island Space argues that the modern experience of islands as mobile and shifting territories implied a dispersal, fragmentation, and diversification of spatial experience, and it explores how this disruption is registered and negotiated by both non-fictional and fictional responses.
