Vansittart, known for his erudite and poetic prose, presents a vision of civilization shaped by the stories we tell about place — the sacred groves, sunken kingdoms, and vanished peoples that haunt the European consciousness. Written with the authority of a scholar and the sensibility of a poet, the work argues that history is never truly lost but persists in language, landscape, and collective myth. The tone is contemplative and deeply literary, rewarding readers who appreciate writing that treats the past not as a sequence of events but as a living, breathing presence. This is essential reading for those drawn to the intersection of history, mythology, and the enduring power of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130443374811,"sku":"2026770000822-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/eef4a14d-0463-4c02-9620-111d5bafca1e.png?v=1786585301","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000822-secondhand-the-lost-lands","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
