Originally published in 1820, Symzonia is the first novel to explore the then emerging theory that the Earth is hollow and contains an advanced civilization previously unknown to us. The new Rebel edition includes additional contemporary material exploring the alleged author and his theory.The tale tells of Captain Seaborn’s expedition to the North Pole to discover the entrance to the hollow earth. A classic early work of utopian fiction (perhaps the first American example), Symzonia is also a great seafaring tale complete with a mutinous crew member. Seaborn discovers the entrance to the Earth and finds inside our planet a technologically advanced civilization.
