Summary "Atlantida" by Pierre Benoît is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the adventures and explorations of Lieutenant Olivier Ferrières and Captain André de Saint-Avit as they embark on a mission into the depths of the Sahara, which is filled with both mystery and danger. The text hints at a historical adventure intertwined with themes of exploration, mystical legends, and perhaps questions of morality, especially surrounding the enigmatic background of Captain de Saint-Avit. At the start of "Atlantida," we are introduced to Lieutenant Olivier Ferrières, who provides insights into his state of mind as he prepares for an imminent expedition to the southern Sahara. He reflects on the complexities of bravery and fear while detailing his companion, Saint-Avit, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding a significant prior mission. The narrative introduces tensions regarding Saint-Avit's past, particularly involving a notorious incident with another captain, Morhange. Setting the stage for an adventure yet to unfold, the opening reveals Ferrières' conflicted emotions about their journey and the shadows of danger and intrigue that lie ahead, piquing the reader's curiosity about the true nature of their exploration and the ominous legends they may encounter.
