In 1968, seventy-six books bearing the mark of the Library of Alexandria were discovered beneath Pompeii.
They should not have survived.
They should not have been there.
Professor Matteo Dericci is asked to translate one.
What begins as an archaeological impossibility soon becomes something harder to dismiss.
Familiar names appear where they should not.
History begins to resemble mythology.
Mythology begins to read like damaged history.
And buried within the text is the testimony of a witness who claims to remember events older than the world mankind knows.
Perhaps the books are ancient fiction.
Perhaps they are a fraud.
Or perhaps humanity's oldest stories survived for thousands of years while their meanings changed around them.
Liber Perditorum is a found-manuscript mystery at the boundary of archaeology, history, mythology and belief.
Seventy-six books were found.
The first is enough to make history unreliable.
