The Temple of Dreams
London: W. J. Ham-Smith, 1912. Hardcover. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Very Good. A VG ex-library copy with a lending library sticker on front endpaper as the only library marking. Some minor wear to the boards, dealer notes in pencil on ffep, some spotting on edges, but otherwise clean internally. A semi-eccentric occult romance. Summary from Bleiler 225; "The narrator, wandering around Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, saves a beautiful young woman from drowning. He learns that she and her father are the last survivors of the ancient rulers of Tianhuanaco and guard immense treasures. Lest he should reveal the secret of their existence, he is initiated into their organization. While under drugs, he dreams the najor portion of the book. This is a long sentimental novel of political and social intrigue in an exotic setting. The characters sort themselves out into very good, and very bad, but almost everyone dies in volcanic eruptions. The people of the ancient empire of Tiahuanaco are 'natural christians'and have telepathic communication." VG. Item #8390
