Inhaltsangabe

Like most of Mr.. Jules Verne's books, it is the story of a journey. Some acrobats wish to travel from California to their native France, and having no money they determine to go in their caravan northward to Bering's Straits, crossing on the ice, and make their way through Siberia into Europe. Jules Verne's travelers are generally successful: in spite of robbers, icebergs, and the Russian police; the bold Frenchmen triumphantly reach their goal. While a member of the Amiens town council, Verne supervised the finances of the local theatre. During this period he urged the establishment of a permanent circus. Verne's contact with the circus performers formed the basis for Caesar Cascabel in which a mystery is solved by means of ventriloquism.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French novelist, playwright, and pioneer of science fiction and adventure literature. Best known for his Voyages extraordinaires series, Verne wrote stories that combined exploration, scientific speculation, engineering, geography, and fast-moving adventure. His books helped shape modern imaginative fiction by turning technology, travel, and discovery into the engines of popular storytelling.Verne's best-known works include Journey to the Center of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, Around the World in Eighty Days, and The Mysterious Island. His fiction has inspired generations of readers, writers, inventors, filmmakers, and explorers. Though written in the nineteenth century, his novels remain alive because they join intellectual curiosity to narrative momentum, giving readers worlds of danger, mystery, invention, and wonder.
