Synopsis "La Caza del Meteoro (in Spanish)"

La historia nos cuenta cómo un par de astrónomos aficionados, Dean Forsyth y Sydney Hudelson, residentes en una pequeña ciudad del este norteamericano, descubren un nuevo meteoro. Amigos hasta ese momento, se desata entonces una fanática y absurda rivalidad por adjudicarse el primer avistamiento oficial. Ese enfrentamiento, cada vez más hostil, tiene sus consecuencias en las familias de ambos, con la cancelación de los planes de boda entre la hija de uno y la sobrina de otro. Mientras tanto, se descubre que el meteoro en cuestión, cuya trayectoria le condena a una perpetua órbita alrededor de la Tierra, está hecho de oro. Un despistado, tan brillante como lunático sabio francés, Zephyrin Xirdal, construye una pequeña máquina que, dirigida hacia el bólido, lo va atrayendo hacia la Tierra. Cuando se descubre que semejante masa de oro va a acabar estrellándose en Groenlandia, se desata una frenética carrera por parte de las potencias mundiales para asegurarse sus "derechos" sobre ella.

View Author's Page
Jules Verne was a prolific French author who is considered one of the fathers of science fiction, alongside the English H. G. Wells. He began by writing some theatrical plays and published several short stories and scientific articles. His ambition was to write a new type of novel, one that combined adventure with scientific facts. That dream was fulfilled with Five Weeks in a Balloon, the first of his great novels. Verne was always very interested in the scientific novelties of his time. From that passion, seminal works of science fiction such as Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the Moon, and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea were born. Verne's influence goes beyond literature, as he has inspired several generations of people who have dedicated themselves to science.
