Download or read book Facing the Flag written by Jules Verne and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book hinges upon the extraordinary adventures of a mad French inventor who has imagined a diabolical engine of war that in its explosive effects surpasses anything in this direction ever conceived by mortal man. The story is of a most exciting character throughout. It has an added and highly piquant interest from the fact that Turpin, the celebrated and excitable inventor, declared at the time of the first publication, that he has been libelled in the person of the mad hero of "Facing the Flag," and was bringing an action against Jules Verne. Turpin was the chemist who claimed that he discovered melinite (the explosive later used for shells in the French army and navy). The claim was denied by the military authorities. Turpin in his resentment published the formula of the explosive in a book, together with an account of his alleged wrongs, and drawings of certain mechanical inventions that the government desired to keep secret. For this he was thrown into prison, but owing to the persistent agitation kept up by the French press of all parties was released after several months' incarceration.

Download or read book The Castle Of The Carpathians written by Jules Verne and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jules Verne has not written a more sane and well-sustained story than this. The excellent descriptions of a wild region in Transylvania and the accounts of the homely ways and daily life of the shepherds and villagers give it an air of veracity not to be expected from this author. The mysterious castle is finely set among the cliffs in an almost inaccessible place. It has been the scene of tragedies, and now after having been long abandoned it is supposed to be the home of supernatural beings of diabolic power. After one desperate attempt to reach it the villagers are stricken with terror, and affairs are in a deplorable state when two travelers arrive. One of them, Count Franz, has reasons of his own for believing it to be the hiding place of a certain enemy of his. He sets out to ascertain, and the mystery of its magic powers is revealed by the fact that two men are using for their own purpose electric batteries and telephones. A tragic romance and the destiny of several individuals are complicated with the physical phenomena in a way that no one but the inventive and ingenious author would have thought of. The glimpses of life in a fascinating country too little known make the book worth reading.

Download or read book The Begum s Fortune written by Jules Verne and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jules Verne's conceptions are as brilliant as ever. Dr. Sarrasin, a French savant, simple in taste and absorbed in science, delivers an address at the Brighton Scientific Association. The publication of it with his name in ' The Daily Telegraph' discovers him to a London lawyer as the lost heir of the Begum, whom his uncle had married in India. He inherits a moderate property of twenty-one millions sterling, all ready for him in the Bank of England. Dr. Schultz, a German professor, also a connection by marriage, threatens to dispute it. They settle the dispute by dividing it. Dr. Sarrasin founds in the Rocky Mountains a city of health, modelled on Dr. Richardson's lines. Dr. Schultz founds at thirty miles distance a stupendous cannon manufactory. One piece fires a shot with a velocity and force that give it perpetual motion. He resolves to destroy Dr. Sarrasin's city. How he fails and perishes by his own science the story must tell ; but it is prodigious. The magnificence and the verisimilitude are perfect.
