The Devil-Tree of El Dorado (1897) is a novel by Frank Aubrey, set in the colony of British Guiana. It falls into the lost world genre of science fiction, popularized by writers like H. Rider Haggard, Jules Verne, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. Aubrey lacks name recognition but compensates with storytelling ability and a talent for merging history and geography with unsettling visions of monsters and gods. A staunch imperialist, his novel exhibits troubling depictions of racist ideology and remains a difficult yet essential example of literature's function in upholding global white supremacy.
Beneath the verandah of a handsome residence near Georgetown, the principal town of British Guiana, a young man sat one morning early in the year 1890, attentively studying a volume that lay open on a small table before him. As all adventurers know, fortune tends to favor the bold. While this maxim never ensures success, it grants confidence to those bold enough—or crazy enough—to push themselves to extremes in search of adventure. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, a small expedition sets out through the jungle to find the lost city of El Dorado, confident their destination, the treacherous Mt. Roraima, could hide what remains of a once-vibrant civilization. Despite the odds, they make it to the top of the plateau, where they discover a terrible being.
This edition of Frank Aubrey's The Devil-Tree of El Dorado is a classic of British science fiction reimagined for modern readers. It features a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, making it an essential addition to any fan of the genre.
