O ovoj e-knjizi
Widely rumored to exist, then circulated in a corrupt form, Jules Verne?s final and arguably most daring and hauntingly beautiful novel?his own ?invisible man??appears here for the first time in a faithful translation. Readers of English can rediscover the pleasures of Verne?s storytelling in its original splendor and enjoy a virtually unknown gem of action, adventure, and style from a master of French literature.
Wilhelm Storitz, the son of a famous Prussian scientist (and possessor of his father?s secrets?even, perhaps, a formula that confers invisibility), vows revenge on the family that has denied him the love of his life, Myra Roderich. Wilhelm?s actions on the eve of Myra?s wedding unfold in a surprising and sinister way, leading to an ending that will astonish the reader.ÿ ÿ Like many works left unpublished when Jules Verne died, The Secret of Wilhelm Storitz was prepared and edited by his son, Michel. After a century of obscurity, this unique work in Verne?s oeuvre is finally in the hands of readers, in a fine, authentic translation.
