| Summary | "The Sunken Isthmus; or, Frank Reade, Jr., in the Yucatan Channel" by Luis Senarens is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the adventures of Frank Reade, Jr., a talented young inventor, and his companion, Mr. Wilbur Wade, who set out to explore the depths of the Yucatan Channel in search of a sunken isthmus. This narrative weaves together themes of exploration, science, and conflict with those who have ulterior motives, reflecting an adventure rich with discovery and danger. The opening of the book introduces Mr. Wilbur Wade as he addresses the World’s Geographical Society, presenting findings that suggest a sunken isthmus between Cuba and Yucatan. Intrigued by the potential for discovery, he enlists the help of the brilliant inventor Frank Reade, Jr., who has just built a remarkable submarine called the Sea Diver. The narrative quickly highlights the importance of the journey to locate this sunken land, with Wade's excited theories and the large gathering of scientists buzzing with skepticism transitioning into their eager support once Reade's name is mentioned. As they prepare to embark on their voyage, tensions arise when they encounter Hardy Poole, a villainous treasure hunter, driving the anticipation and conflict that will unfold during their deep-sea adventure.
