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 wrote and published over 100 novels, short stories, nonfiction books, essays, and plays-some posthumously. He was born on a small river island in Nantes, France, on February 8th, 1828. His parents, Pierre Verne and Sophie Allotte de La Fuÿe, sent Jules to Paris in 1848 to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lawyer. Instead, he developed a love of all things literary and fashioned himself into a prolific and versatile writer. His first novel, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in 1863 by publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel and launched Verne's popular career with the Voyages Extraordinaires series of adventure novels, many of which established key elements of the science fiction genre. He was an instant success in France and other parts of Europe and would become a respected literary giant around the world later in the twentieth century. Verne died on March 24th, 1905, in Amiens, France. Verne's most famous works include Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1872). Verne is one of the most translated authors in the world, second only to William Shakespeare, and still holds the prestigious title, "the Father of Science Fiction."
