A forgotten gem of American fantasy First published in 1893, this forgotten gem of American fantasy follows the young aristocrat Baron Trump on a journey to a mysterious world beneath the Earth's surface. Written by Ingersoll Lockwood, lawyer, diplomat, and storyteller, it is a tale of imagination, satire, and philosophical curiosity that reflects the optimism and anxieties of the late nineteenth century. This Intra edition restores the complete Boston 1893 text, inviting readers to rediscover one of the most curious and visionary works of its age-a journey through underground worlds that mirror the ambitions and absurdities of our own.
