Summary "The Lost Continent" by Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne is a speculative fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds with themes of adventure, discovery, and the exploration of ancient worlds, focusing on the mysterious continent of Atlantis and its rich history. The narrative revolves around the main character, Deucalion, who finds himself entangled in political intrigue and the challenges posed by an empress named Phorenice after returning from a twenty-year absence in Yucatan. The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist, Deucalion, who recalls significant moments from his past as he navigates the transition of power in the Atlantean empire. He has been replaced by Tatho, the new Viceroy, at the behest of the empress, leading to a mix of nostalgia and bitterness. As Deucalion prepares to return to Atlantis, he reflects on the challenges he may face with the new ruler and the impending upheaval in the empire. Tatho hints at political unrest and the central role Deucalion might play as he grapples with his past and the expectations of his homeland. The vivid descriptions and character dynamics set the stage for an engaging tale of adventure, conflict, and exploration of ancient civilizations that beckon the reader to delve deeper into the world Hyne has crafted.
