Sinossi
Romanzo della maturità di Jules Verne, è l'avventura vissuta dall'investigatore capo Strock che si trova a dover dipanare il mistero che si cela dietro la comparsa di strane macchine. La fantascienza verniana prende una piega più cupa; tra le righe si legge la paura che ha accompagnato l'autore negli ultimi anni della sua vita circa la possibilità dell'instaurazione di regimi dittatoriali e di un uso indiscriminato e nocivo della scienza. Il tema, a più di un secolo di distanza, è ancora di estrema attualità. Riproponiamo la prima traduzione arrivata in Italia nel 1906, arricchita dalle illustrazioni realizzate da George Roux per la prima edizione francese.

This is the 53rd book in the ‘ Extraordinary Voyages ’ series and as a reader I have mixed feelings about this book. The story is narrated by ‘ Leggi tutto
- Excuse me sir, you're Jules Verne, aren't you? - And if I am? - Well, I'd just like to say I'm a fan. - Ah, thank you! And did you enjoy my latest book? - Maître du monde ? - Indeed. - Well, to be honest, I didn't think it was one of your best. No offence, sir, but I'd have done some things differently. - Leggi tutto
What could possibly account for the fire shooting out of the top of a North Carolina mountain? Is it a volcano? Does it pose an imminent threat to the public? Who better to decide that question than federal policeman John Strock? Ah, but that mystery must wait. Now the public is being menaced by a
If nothing else, this book taught me not to rely on AIP pictures for my literary education. I was 10 years old when I saw MOTW, the movie, in 1961. Back then 10-year-olds did not read Jules Verne. Or if we did it was the immensely boring 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, which was also made into a not-s Leggi tutto

OH MY GODS. This children, this book is a perfect example of why you must always, always plan , proofread and edit your papers. I'm thinking either Mr. Verne wrote it with this in mind, or his son wrote it for high school English and begged dad to publish it. I wanted to be generous in it and give him Leggi tutto
