The Master of the World

Abstract

The penultimate completed novel written by Verne as a sequel to his book Robur the Conqueror. Both books are connected by the figure of the genius inventor engineer Robur. While in the first part Robur can still be considered essentially a nice character, in this book he becomes a criminal who wants to rule the world. To do this, he is to use a wonderful new universal means of transport called Fear, which can fly like an airplane, travel on land like a car, sail on the surface like a ship or dive like a submarine, while the transition from one mode of transport to another is smooth and requires no workshop. adjustments.
