Jules Verne - Mathis Sandorf - 1885

Mathias Sandorf, a Hungarian patriot, plots to free his country but is betrayed by two swindlers. Arrested with his companions, he miraculously escapes while the others perish. Supposedly dead, he is reborn under the identity of the mysterious Dr. Antekirtt. He then embarks on a methodical quest to outwit the criminals responsible for his downfall. Adventure, revenge, and justice intertwine in a thrilling race across the Mediterranean.

Born in 1828 in Nantes, Jules Verne grew up between maritime daydreams and literary passions, before becoming one of the visionary fathers of science fiction. A curious scholar of everything, he explored continents, the depths, and the stars through an imagination nourished by emerging sciences. An indefatigable worker, he published more than sixty novels in the series of Extraordinary Voyages. His work, blending scientific rigor with epic spirit, has a lasting influence on literature and popular sciences. He passed away in 1905, recognized as a universal visionary.
