Widely rumored to exist, then circulated in a corrupt form, Jules
Verne's final and arguably most daring and hauntingly beautiful
novel--his own "invisible man"--appears here for the first time in
a faithful translation. Readers of English can rediscover the
pleasures of Verne's storytelling in its original splendor and
enjoy a virtually unknown gem of action, adventure, and style from
a master of French literature.
Wilhelm Storitz, the son of a famous Prussian scientist (and
possessor of his father's secrets--even, perhaps, a formula that
confers invisibility), vows revenge on the family that has denied
him the love of his life, Myra Roderich. Wilhelm's actions on the
eve of Myra's wedding unfold in a surprising and sinister way,
leading to an ending that will astonish the reader. Like many works
left unpublished when Jules Verne died, "The Secret of Wilhelm
Storitz" was prepared and edited by his son, Michel. After a
century of obscurity, this unique work in Verne's oeuvre is finally
in the hands of readers, in a fine, authentic translation.
