Narrative Conducive To Books A Fantasy of Dr. Ox

Something very strange is in the air of the harmonious town of Quiquendone. Unknown to its inhabitants, the mad genius Dr. Ox has unleashed a veil of oxyhydric gas over the town—his own living laboratory—in an attempt to spice things up. In his amusing portrait of an idyllic community suddenly overtaken by an appetite for aggression, Jules Verne points to the ease with which any society—and the modern resonance is unmissable—can be manipulated by its masters into hatred and war. Jules Verne was the originator of modern science fiction; among his works are Around the World in Eighty Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Evidentemente, estamos ante una humorada, un chiste en forma de novela corta, así que no podemos hacer mucho caso de la seriedad que Verne

Jules Verne always makes me smile. Loved this little book.

Interesting read that takes place in the town of Quiquendone, where Dr. Ox, a definite crazy guy, has put out a veil of oxyhydric gas. The book is a reminder of what can happen when someone with an aggressive, and a psychotic personality has power. As with all Jules Verne books, it is amazing to think of the time they were written, so long ago, yet so close to the present in content.

Este o carte destul de fada ca sa fiu sincera. Am fost pur si simplu plictisita in unele parti. A fost o tortura sa o termin.

Lettura molto piacevole e scorrevole. Verne fa sorridere con questo piccolo romanzo che parla di una piccola cittadina fiamminga la cui popolazione non è altro che il ritratto della tranquillità, anzi, se si può dire, di una completa apatia su tutti gli aspetti della vita; ma l'arrivo del Dottor Oss sconvolge gli animi imperturbabili di questi cittadini, portandoli ai più alti livelli di emotività.Da un lato, leggendo di queste persone, ho percepito una sorta di critica verso questa loro
