Facing the flag

""Facing the Flag"" or ""For the Flag"" is an 1896 patriotic novel by Jules Verne. The book is part of the ""Voyages Extraordinaires (Extraordinary Voyages)"" series. Like ""The Begum's Millions"", which Verne published in 1879, it has the theme of France and the entire world threatened by a super-weapon (what would now be called a weapon of mass destruction) with the threat finally overcome through the force of French patriotism. It can be considered one of the first books dealing with problems which were to become paramount half a century after its publication in World War II and.

  • "Román je historií strašlivé výbušniny, vynálezu francouzského vědce Thomase Rocha, který si klade tak přemrštěné finanční požadavky, že žádná z velmocí jím nemůže vyhovět, ač každá by si přála být pánem tak mocného prostředku zkázy. Mořský pirát Kerr Karje, který si podřídil pro své loupežné cíle nejmodernější technické vynálezy, unese Rocha na svou podzemní základnu uprostřed oceánu a dá mu možnost realisace vynálezu. Když však má být výbušniny použito k obraně lupičů proti útoku francouzského křižníku, zvítězí u vynálezce vlastenecký cit nad zaslepenou touhou po penězích a Roch vyhodí do povětří celý pirátský ostrov a sám při tom zahyne i se svým tajemstvím."
  • "Die Serie "Meisterwerke der Literatur" beinhaltet die Klassiker der deutschen und weltweiten Literatur in einer einzigartigen Sammlung für Ihren eBook Reader. Lesen Sie die besten Werke grosser Schriftsteller,Poeten, Autoren und Philosophen auf Ihrem Reader. Dieses Werk bietet zusätzlich * Eine Biografie/Bibliografie des Autors. Dies ist die komplett illustrierte und für Lesegeräte optimierte Version dieses Klassikers. Dieser Roman brachte Jules Verne einen Prozess gegen den (in der damaligen Öffentlichkeit als suspekt dargestellten und zeitweise unter Verfolgungswahn leidenden) Chemiker Eugène Turpin (1848-1927) ein, den er gewann. Der Chemiker sah sich in dem Roman verleumdet und lächerlich dargestellt. Aber Verne scheint den Chemiker in seinem Roman doch dargestellt zu haben, wie man später in seinem Briefwechsel feststellte. (aus wikipedia.de)."
