Publisher's Synopsis

A Strange Manuscript Found In A Copper Cylinder is a novel written by James De Mille. The story is about four sailors who discover a copper cylinder floating in the ocean. Inside the cylinder, they find a manuscript written in an unknown language. After many attempts, they finally decipher the manuscript, which tells the story of a man named Adam More, who finds himself stranded on an island inhabited by a strange civilization. The inhabitants are a mix of different races and cultures, and they have developed a unique way of life that is both fascinating and bizarre. The story follows Adam's adventures on the island as he tries to understand the customs and beliefs of the people. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful woman named Yillah, and together they navigate the challenges of living in a society that is vastly different from their own. The book is a unique blend of adventure, romance, and social commentary, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into a world that is both familiar and alien.She looked anxious and troubled, and once more that expression of wondering sadness came over her face. She repeated my name over and over in this way with a mournful intonation that thrilled through me, and excited forebodings of evil. ""Atamor, Atamor!"" And always after that she called me ""Atamor.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
