1Atlantis: The Antediluvian World

By Ignatius Loyola Donnelly

"Atlantis: The Antediluvian World is a book published during 1882 by Minnesota populist politician Ignatius L. Donnelly, who was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during 1831. Donnelly considered Plato's account of Atlantis as largely factual and attempted to establish that all known ancient civilizations were descended from this supposed lost land. Many of its theories are the source of many modern-day concepts we have about Atlantis, like the civilization and technology beyond its time, the origins of all present races and civilizations, a civil war between good and evil, etc." (Summary by Wikipedia)

Fairhaven is the story of a very wealthy couple who lived in New York City in a palatial mansion. They had all the trappings of the super rich, including butlers, maids, chauffeurs and chefs. Then suddenly it all went away in a financial markets crash of the early 1900's. All their wealth was gone as well as his health, prompting their personal physician to prescribe a move to Fairhaven at Cape Cod for recovery. That move was the solution, and with it they grew to know and love one another all over. Fairhaven is a warm story with a pleasant ending that everyone will enjoy. I did. - Summary by John
