Title : Robur the Conqueror - Jules Verne

Summary :

What a stir in Philadelphia! From the first hours, everyone knew what had happened the day before at the Weldon Institute meeting: the appearance of a mysterious character, a certain engineer named Robur – Robur-the-Conqueror! –, the fight he seemed to want to engage in against the balloonists, then his inexplicable disappearance.
But it was another matter when the whole town learned that the club's president and secretary had also disappeared! It is aboard the Albatross, a prodigious flying machine, that we will find Uncle Prudent and Phil Evans. Kidnapped by Robur, they will, in spite of themselves, fly across the world and experience incredible adventures... But our two fierce enemies of "heavier-than-air" devices will not admit defeat and will do anything to escape...
Robur-le-Conquérant is a premonitory novel in which Jules Verne envisages with remarkable precision and intelligence all the future possibilities of aviation.
