Jules Verne 3 hr 27 min read

A mysterious inventor with a marvelous machine, at home in air, on water, and undersea, defies the world's governments and proclaims himself master of all, in Verne's tale of technological hubris.

This is a Hungarian translation of Jules Verne's Master of the World. Vivid, cautionary, gripping. Read it for a late, darker Verne, the megalomaniac Robur and his all-conquering machine the Terror, a prophetic tale of a genius inventor turned menace, one of the master's most ominous scientific romances, here rendered for Hungarian readers.
