Overview

AN INACCESSIBLE PLATEAU. AN ANCIENT WORLD. A SECRET THAT COULD CHANGE HISTORY. Year 1875. Professor Pierre Aronnax, renowned French naturalist and witness to the wonders of the Nautilus, receives a mysterious posthumous package from his missing colleague, Dr. Ludwig Kaufman. Inside are ""recent"" fossils and a coded journal describing a lost plateau in the Amazon jungle, where prehistoric creatures and ancient cultures have survived the passage of time. Driven by science and accompanied by the bold Countess Isabelle de Chambord, Irish hunter Jack O'Malley, and Yanomami guide Carlos, Aronnax embarks on an aerial expedition aboard the balloon El Cóndor. But what they discover on the heights of Wei-Tepui, ""The Mountain of the Ancestors,"" surpasses all theories: living dinosaurs, forgotten megafauna, a tribe descended from the first humans, and a geothermal balance sustaining an impossible world. Their discovery also attracts the greed of Baron Klaus Von Haessler, determined to exploit the plateau's resources even if it means its destruction. Exploration, science, humanity, and risk intertwine in this adventure novel, paying homage to the visionary spirit of Jules Verne and the eternal struggle between progress and preservation. An unforgettable journey to a world where time has stopped... and whose existence depends on the silence of those who returned.
