A Strange Manuscript Found In A Copper Cylinder is a novel written by James De Mille. The story revolves around four sailors who discover a copper cylinder while sailing in the South Pacific. Inside the cylinder, they find a manuscript written by a man named Adam More, who claims to have been shipwrecked on an island called the Land of the Sphex. The manuscript describes the strange and fascinating customs, traditions, and beliefs of the people who inhabit the island, including their unique form of government, their religion, and their social customs. As the sailors read the manuscript, they become more and more intrigued by the strange and exotic world described within its pages. The novel is a satirical commentary on Victorian society, and it explores themes such as imperialism, colonialism, and cultural relativism. It is a fascinating and thought-provoking read that will appeal to anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human culture and society.She looked anxious and troubled, and once more that expression of wondering sadness came over her face. She repeated my name over and over in this way with a mournful intonation that thrilled through me, and excited forebodings of evil. Atamor, Atamor! And always after that she called me Atamor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
