Robur the Conqueror is a science fiction from Jules Verne.

This book from Verne describes the adventures of Robur - a wannabe conqueror of the world and a great inventor - and Albatross, his incredible heavier-than-air flying machine.

Verne develops the book from the concepts of air-travel that was floating around his time - he recognizes the limitations that balloons had as a travel medium - and predicts the way in which future air transportation was going to be with his development of the flying machine 'Albatross'. This was before airplanes we have now was invented and became a common day-to-day transportation means The astonishment of the story to the people of the day is tantamount to you reading a story of traveling to Pluto in a small car-sized airborne vehicle, alone A technology breakthrough.

Note: One must remember that Jules Verne wrote the story in 1886, almost twenty years before the Wright brothers made their first successful powered flights. So he wasn't merely writing a story about a time when only lighter-than-air craft were feasible he was living in that time and projecting forward

Verne makes 'Albatross' a propeller driven machine powered by electricity and airs his views at the future of balloon travel through the voice of his protagonist 'Robur'. Robur kidnaps a Weldon institute's two professors and proceeds on an around the world air journey in his 'heavier than air' ship the Albatross because people their rebuke him when he says that he has conquered the air. They call him "Robur the Conqueror."

Notă biografică

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.
