ROBERT THE CONQUEROR

Publisher: ELLINIKI EKdotiki

North America, somewhere at the end of the 19th century. At a meeting of the members of the Weldon Institute on the navigation of balloons, an engineer named Robur requested to speak and, with an arrogant tone, talked about a new method of navigation, completely contrary to the "beliefs" of the institute's members. A verbal confrontation ensued, escalating into an armed dispute, fortunately without injuries, but Robur had to be whisked away. On the evening of the same day, the president, along with his servant and the secretary of the Institute, mysteriously disappear without anyone knowing anything. Who is the abductor? Did Robur take them with him on his airship, the notorious Albatross, where developments and adventures follow one after another, as its speed of movement is astounding... Another thrilling work by Jules Verne that keeps the reader's interest undiminished and confirms how far ahead the author's imagination "ran." (From the presentation on the back cover of the book)
