| Summary | "The Smoky God; Or, A Voyage to the Inner World" by Willis George Emerson is a fantastical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds through the perspective of Olaf Jansen, a Norwegian fisherman who recounts his extraordinary journey to a concealed realm beneath the Earth's surface, rich with marvelous landscapes and inhabited by a giant civilization. This microcosmic world is illuminated by a central entity known as "The Smoky God," believed by its inhabitants to be the throne of a divine power. The opening of the book sets the stage for Jansen's incredible tale, as he is introduced through the perspective of another character, the author, who reflects on his encounter with Jansen. The author describes how Jansen, on the brink of death at ninety-five years of age, entrusts him with his remarkable story—a revelation of uncharted lands and experiences that challenge conventional beliefs about Earth’s geography. As Jansen begins to share the details of his voyage beyond known territories, the narrative hints at elements of adventure, mysticism, and the allure of exploration, inviting readers into a world where the extraordinary is possible.
