Armchair Fiction presents a special paperback edition of Jules Verne's science fiction classic, "Robur the Conqueror." This is a special illustrated edition featuring original interior illustrations, plus a gallery of Jules Verne movie memorabilia, as well as a "Robur the Conqueror" cover gallery. This classic tale is all about the day a lone man conquered the skies. Robur was widely ridiculed for his notions about creating a heavier-than-air flying machine. However, the day came when he was able to prove his skeptics embarrassingly wrong. It was the day of the Albatross—the most astounding piece of machinery ever created. And soon, with this airborne leviathon under his control, Robur set out to become not only the master of the skies, but perhaps even the master of the world itself. When “Robur, the Conqueror,” was first published, Jules Verne was already known for his wild tales of fantastic scientific adventure. In this classic, Verne created an airborne equivalent to his famed Nautilus from “Twenty-Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.” “Robur, the Conqueror” is an amazing tale filled with thrilling excitement and scientific principles far ahead of its time. It is a story that will captivate the reader from beginning to end.
