Produktbeschreibung
Professor Otto Lidenbrock runs home to examine his most recent classicist buy, a unique runic original copy of an Icelandic adventure composed by Snorre Sturluson, "Heimskringla", an annual of the Norwegian rulers who controlled over Iceland. While leafing through the book, Lidenbrock and his nephew Axel discover a coded note written in runic content alongside the name of a sixteenth-century Icelandic chemist, Arne Saknussemm. (This tale was Verne's first to exhibit his adoration for cryptography; coded, secretive, or fragmented messages would show up as plot gadgets in a significant number of his works, and Verne would make careful arrangements to clarify the actual code as well as the instruments for recovering the first content.) Lidenbrock and Axel spell out the runic characters into Latin letters, uncovering a message written in an unusual code. Lidenbrock reasons that the message is an interpretation figure, however accomplishes results not any more significant than the astounding unique.
Autorenporträt
Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French novelist, playwright, and poet who is best known for his enduring tales of adventure and discovery that include Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days. Verne's books about a variety of innovations and technological advancements-including the submarine, space travel, terrestrial flight and deep-sea exploration-years before they were practical realities, laid much of the foundation of modern science fiction. One of the most prolific, famous French novelists of all time, Verne has been the second most-translated author in the world since 1979, ranking between Agatha Christie and William Shakespeare.
