The Moon Pool
by A. Merritt
One of the most exciting fantasies ever written, "The Moon Pool" embodies all the romance and poetic nostalgia of A. Merritt's work. The action of the novel takes place on the island of Ponape, filled with the remnants of ancient civilizations, tells the adventures of a group of researchers who discover a previously unknown underworld full of strange peoples and superscientific miracles. From the depths of this world, the party unwittingly unleashes "Calm", a terrible terror that threatens the islands of the South Pacific. Although Merritt did not invent the novel about the lost world, he elaborated on this tradition, following in the footsteps of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Burroughs and others.
