Atlantis

About this film

LibriVox recording of Atlantis by Gerhart Hauptmann. (Translated by Adele Szold Seltzer.) Read in English by Margaret Espaillat Frederick von Kammacher is a young doctor in Germany whose wife has gone insane, whose children are in a boarding school, and whose career has been destroyed by some faulty research he has done. He becomes infatuated with a teenage dancer, and on a whim he boards the the same steamship the dancer is on bound for New York. Hauptmann was heralded as a seer for his description of what happens to their steamship mid-ocean, and what in reality happened to the Titanic only months later.
