Atlantida (L’Atlantide) by Pierre Benoit
This French novel of 'Atlantis in the Sahara' made a huge splash when it was published. The exotic Saharan setting, the stories of desert survival, the overpowering allure of the last Queen of Atlantis, make a memorable, if a bit pulpy, read. Over a dozen films have been made of this plot, to the point where it is almost a subgenre of the lost-civilization adventure film in itself. The author was sued (and lost) at one point because the plot is fairly close to that of Haggard's She. However, it is thought Benoit had no exposure to Haggard prior writing L'Antlantide, so this appears to be a case of literary convergent evolution.
This edition is based on 1920 edition of this translation of the book.
**This kindle edition is special to include the beautiful Atlantis pictures for the reader to more enjoy reading.
**Each chapter has the linkage for easy navigation.
