The Smokey God

Or; A Voyage to the Inner World

By: Willis George Emerson

Written in the style of a factual account, this extraordinary novel details the experiences of a Norwegian sailor named Olaf Jensen, who sails to the centre of the earth through an entrance located at the North Pole. On his deathbed, Olaf recounts the two years he spent with Earth’s internal residents – 12 foot tall beings whose capital city is purportedly the original Garden of Eden, and whose continued existence is facilitated by a ‘smokey’ sun at the centre of the planet. Although a remarkable and entertaining tale for any reader, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the ‘Hollow-Earth’ theory and early speculative fiction around the topic. The subsurface world of Agharta is a recurring motif in paradisiacal mythos from around the world - the Valhalla of Norse mythology, Shangri-la, Tibet’s Shambhalla, the Belovodia of Siberian shamanism – and as such this novel constitutes both a thoroughly entertaining and informative read. Willis George Emerson was an American writer, newspaperman, lawyer, and politician. Published in 1908, The Smokey God was his sixth book amongst other such as: The Man who Discovered Himself (1919), The Treasure of Hidden Valley (1915), and Winning Winds (1885). The Smokey God has been republished here with an introductory biography of the author.

The Smoky God: A Voyage to the Inner World

Illustrated Edition

By: Willis George Emerson

THE SMOKY GOD is an Edwardian era "hollow earth" fantasy novel, presented as a true story. The narrator, Olaf Jansen, voyages through a polar opening in 1829 and spends 2 years in a strange underground world, believed to be the original Garden of Eden. This inner Earth is lit by its own sun, and here underground civilization has diverged from the ways of the surface. Here are giants, monsters, omnipotent High Priests, and lost races that speak Sanskrit -- a world of wonders, which Olaf will be lucky to survive! Includes the original color illustrations from the serialization in The National Magazine (1907-8). "Fictional reconciliation of hollow-earth theories with eclectic Fundamentalism." -- Science-Fiction: The Early Years
