| Summary | "L'Atlantide" by Pierre Benoît is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Lieutenant Olivier Ferrières, who, along with Captain André de Saint-Avit, embarks on a mission through the Sahara, driven by a complex mix of adventure, nostalgia, and mystery about their surroundings and each other. The narrative explores themes of identity, the allure of the unknown, and the haunting past of the characters, particularly concerning Morhange, a figure linked to darker undertones of their expedition. The opening of "L'Atlantide" introduces us to Lieutenant Ferrières as he reflects on his impending journey into the Sahara alongside Captain Saint-Avit. They await a mission that has already inspired both trepidation and desire within Ferrières, a juxtaposition of fear and fascination with the mysteries that the desert may hold. As they prepare to leave the fort where they’ve been stationed, hints of unease arise, particularly surrounding their enigmatic guide, Cegheïr-ben-Cheïkh, and the tragic history tied to Morhange, suggesting that their adventure is not simply one of exploration but is fraught with ominous shadows from the past. The tone of impending discovery and personal conflict sets the stage for a deeper exploration of both character dynamics and the raw, uncharted landscape they are about to traverse.
