The Smoky God, or A Voyage Journey to the Inner Earth is a novel of 1908 by Willis George Emerson, which is presented as a true account of a Norwegian sailor named Olaf Jansen, and explains how Jansen's sloop sailed through an entrance to the Earth's interior at the North Pole. It is notable as an early story about an underground civilization. For two years Jansen lived with the inhabitants of an underground network of colonies who, Emerson writes, were 12 feet tall and whose world was lit by a "smoky" central sun. Their capital city was said to be the original Garden of Eden. Later works by other authors, such as Agartha - Secrets of the Subterranean Cities, have identified the civilization Jansen encountered with Agartha (a mythical subterranean city), although Emerson did not use the name.

( "The possibilities of a land inside the earth were firs...)
"The possibilities of a land inside the earth were first brought to my attention when I picked up a geode on the shores of the Great Lakes. The geode is a spherical and apparently solid stone, but when broken is found to be hollow and coated with crystals. The earth is only a larger form of a geode, and the law that created the geode in its hollow form undoubtedly fashioned the earth in the same way." -Dr. Orville Livingston Leech “The unique plot of this tale makes it one of the great books of the year. The introduction is so human that the reader is immersed in scientific discussion and consideration of deep problems before he is aware of it; every page gleams with interest, and the history of the trip to the under world is handled boldly and with a rare grip which compels the reader to believe that he is hearing of facts rather than fancies. “The story is practically the diary of Olaf Jansen, and tells of his strange theory of another world within the crust of our visible globe of everyday knowledge. How he found this mysterious world and what occurred while there makes a tale of rare interest. To tell too much of the plot would break the spell for those who have not read the book; suffice to say that it equals Mr. Emerson’s other works…The book will undoubtedly grow in interest year by year, because it has more than the merit of a well-told tale, its scientific value will attract the philosopher and the student, as well as the ordinary novel reader.” -The National Magazine The Smoky God tells the purportedly true tale of a Norwegian sailor Olaf Jansen’s discovery of an entryway into the hollow Earth. After discovering the entrance at the North Pole, Jansen remained with the dwellers of the underground world for two years. First published in 1908, The Smoky God is an early classic civilization in the hollow Earth genre.

(Olaf Jansen, a fisherman from Sweden, and his son, sailed...)
Olaf Jansen, a fisherman from Sweden, and his son, sailed by accident through the North Polar opening into the Hollow Interior of the Earth, and lived 2 years among its people. Olaf Jansen claims this is his true story as revealed to Willis George Emerson in confidence. He tells of a race of Super Giants, 15 feet tall, far advanced scientifically, who treated them with the utmost kindness. He lived in peace and harmony and traveled all over their country. He claims they returned through the South Polar opening. The book is fascinating reading, with pictures, charts, maps. It's up to you to believe or disbelieve their story. They swear it is true. We heard about this book and their journey, and searched all over the United States and Europe to find a copy. Now at last, we have found a rare old copy and are reproducing it exactly as written, with no changes. It must be read to be appreciated. We recommend it highly.
