‘The Begum’s Fortune’ follows the plans of two scientists, the French physicist, Sarrasin, and German, Schultz. Each has a share in inheriting a vast fortune and sets about spending it on the project of their dreams. A humanitarian, Sarrasin builds the city, Frankville, dedicated to upholding the health of its citizens. Schultz, however, constructs Steeltown, which is devoted to the creation of weapons of war. Astonishingly prescient, ‘The Begum’s Fortune’ predicts a number of technological advances, including incendiary bombs, satellites, and even mobile phones. A taut and thought-provoking read for those with an interest in dystopian futures. Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French novelist who became known as the ‘Father of Science Fiction.’ He wrote more than 60 novels, including ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ (1864), ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’ (1870) which was also released as a film, starring James Mason, and ‘Around the World in Eighty Days’ (1873), which has been released as a TV drama, featuring former Dr Who star, David Tennant.

Verne's first cautionary tale about the dangers of science — first modern and corrected English translation. When two European scientists unexpectedly inherit an Indian rajah's fortune, each builds an experimental city of his dreams in the wilds of the American Northwest. France-Ville is a harmonious urban community devoted to health and hygiene, the specialty of its French founder, Dr. François Sarrasin. Stahlstadt, or City of Steel, is a fortress-like factory town devoted to the manufacture of high-tech weapons of war. Its German creator, the fanatically pro-Aryan Herr Schultze, is Verne's first truly evil scientist. In his quest for world domination and racial supremacy, Schultze decides to showcase his deadly wares by destroying France-Ville and all its inhabitants. Both prescient and cautionary, The Begum's Millions is a masterpiece of scientific and political speculation and constitutes one of the earliest technological utopia/dystopias in Western literature. This Wesleyan edition features notes, appendices, and a critical introduction as well as all the illustrations from the original French edition.

Dieses eBook wurde mit einem funktionalen Layout erstellt und sorgfältig formatiert. Die Ausgabe ist mit interaktiven Inhalt und Begleitinformationen versehen, einfach zu navigieren und gut gegliedert. 500 Millionen, die das Vermögen einer indischen Prinzessin sind, warten auf einen Erben. Als Erbe wird der französische Arzt Dr. Sarrasin ermittelt, der fassungslos vor Glück ist. Er schmiedet große Pläne. Er will mit dem Geld eine moderne und blühende Stadt nach streng hygienischen Gesichtspunkten errichten. Doch auch der deutsche Professor Schultze erhebt Anspruch auf das Erbe. Er will ebenfalls eine Stadt bauen. Seine Vorstellungen sind jedoch völlig anderer Art als die von Sarrasin. Schultze baut ein Stahlimperium auf, eine Waffenschmiede für Geschütze und Kanonen nach dem Vorbild von Krupp. Beide Pläne werden umgesetzt. Bald steht die saubere und idealisierte Stadt France-Ville in unmittelbarer Nähe der dunklen Stahlstadt gegenüber. Nach kurzer Zeit bahnt sich ein Konflikt an. Jules Verne (1828-1905) war ein französischer Schriftsteller.
