The Riddles of Three Oceans

Alexander Kondratov | First English Edition, First Printing, 1974

Across three oceans, a journey into the mysteries of the ancient world.

Published by Progress Publishers in Moscow in 1974, The Riddles of Three Oceans explores ancient peoples, island cultures and the changing geography of the Earth. Alexander Kondratov brings archaeology, ethnography, linguistics and geology into a discussion of Easter Island, Polynesia, Atlantis and Lemuria, examining hypotheses rather than presenting legends as established history.

Translated from Russian by Leonard Stoklitsky and designed by Victor Korolkov, this volume combines a distinctive blue hardcover, an illustrated dust jacket and illustrated map endpapers. An intriguing addition to collections of first editions, Soviet-era publishing and historical geography.
