Description: The Atlantropa Articles by Cody Franklin, Joseph Pisenti Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Premise:In the 1930s there was an architect who imagined a new continent. A continent settled byEuropeans where the land was rich and the energy was free. A continent that only a centurybefore had been entirely underwater.This land was to be called, Atlantropa. That architects name was Herman Sorgel and to achievethis dream he needed to drain the Mediterranean Sea.It was such an audacious feat that Sorgel knew it was impossible for one nation to constructalone. In a time of growing tension Sorgel wanted Europe to create what was essentially amodern utopia.Sorgels plan was to build two of the largest dams ever imagined at both ends of the sea. Thedams would be so large, theyd block any water from the Atlantic Ocean.Without the constant source of water the Mediterranean simply dries up. The coastlines ofEurope and North Africa change dramatically. Italy no longer is a peninsula. Cities once on thecoast see themselves miles away from the shore.Atlantropa would be hundreds of miles of farmland for a new Europe. Hydroelectricity from themassive dams supply the entire continent with endless renewable electricity. The fertile landprovides it with food.At least, that was Sorgels vision.In an alternate world, that vision was realized. Just like the architect wished, every nation cametogether for the greater good. Sorgel convinced his homeland of Germany, that the ideaLebensraum (living space) was not in the Eastern lands of Poland but in the untapped lands ofAtlantropa.Because of this, there never is a second world war. Instead the decades following the thirties aredominated by the construction of the dams. Millions are employed. Everyone is happy.At least, until the project is finished. By the 1980s the dams were constructed. The sea was nowslowly evaporating as Sorgel wished. There however was an issue.The land wasnt fertile like previously hoped. The reclaimed land after millions of yearsunderwater was left nothing more than a dry and salty flat. It was absolutely unlivable.The project worked on for decades had done nothing but leave Europe with salt. The utopianvision dried up with it.Two hundred years later Europe is a far different place. The sea has long since dried up. In itsplace is a hot vast desert much like the Sahara of North Africa.Atlantropa isnt a lush land. Its instead a nightmare of a place. The sweltering conditions haveleft Southern Europe a barren wasteland. As the sea evaporated so too did the population. Whatwas once Italy is now the furthest southern outpost for the Old Reich.Without World War II Nazi Germany never collapsed. Hitlers thousand year Reich has nowlived for two centuries in a very different world.The Atlantropa Articles will be a book split between two different stories, set in two eras,between two authors.Josephs part of the novel will focus on numerous different characters set in the 1980s as theydeal with the promised utopia around them unraveling.My story will take place two centuries afterwards in the deserts of Italy. It will focus on onesingle character. An Old Reich officer assigned to the city of Maria. A vast metropolis that is thelast large city in Southern Europe.Each chapter will switch between characters as more is revealed about the status of this world.The discoveries Joes characters make will be crucial to answering the questions left by mycharacters.Joes part will be political and history focused. My part will be more personal. It will focus onthe ramifications of those past actions in the eyes of a single character many generations later.Thats the premise of The Atlantropa Articles.
