"I am no mortal, Callisto. I am... a Titan." Jehn finally regains his memory. He now knows that he was not born yesterday, at the dawn of History, in those northern mists populated by wolves and hunters. No, he was born much earlier, when humans lived in glass and marble cities sparkling with sunlight. His name was Astyan then, and he was one of the ten kings of the most mythical of civilizations: Atlantis. Atlantis... Six thousand years of peace, a still pristine nature yet with all modern science, an enlightened, refined society. This Atlantis that Plato speaks of, which he places "somewhere beyond the Strait of Gibraltar," Bernard Simonay imagines its entire saga: from the epic of its origins to the final cataclysm, which engulfed it beneath the waves, erased from human memory. This book is, first and foremost, a tremendous adventure novel, full of flamboyant imagery, carried by an irresistible momentum. Atlantis, erased from memory? Not entirely. Throughout history, humans have vaguely retained the consciousness of a Golden Age that preceded the Iron Age. Perhaps one day, again... One day, will Jehn become Astyan once more, will he find Anéa, the queen of Poseidonia?
