The novel begins with the geological destruction of the Atlantean continent. Pekić describes the sinking of the land with terrifying realism, focusing on the panic, the loss of knowledge, and the desperate evacuation of the elite. The survivors, led by the Archon (ruler), arrive on the shores of the Hesperides—the primitive, foggy lands that would eventually become Western Europe.
Atlantida has sparked a renewed interest in across the former Yugoslav states. Workshops in Belgrade, Zagreb, and Sarajevo now include modules on “mythic realism,” a term that Pečić inadvertently coined in an interview.
