Synopsis "Los Quinientos Millones de la Begún (in Spanish)"

Los quinientos millones de la begún o Los quinientos millones de la princesa india (Les cinq cents millions de la Bégum) es una novela escrita por Julio Verne sobre la base de una idea original de Paschal Grousset, quien vendió sus derechos en 1.500 francos a los editores de Verne y terminó siendo revisada y totalmente reescrita por este último, según refiere Javier Coria. Considerada por Verne una obra totalmente incoherente, sin embargo tomó una de las líneas argumentales, la de dos ciudades enfrentadas dentro del territorio de los Estados Unidos fundadas y dirigidas por dos ricos herederos: uno francés, utopista y pacífico; y el otro alemán, industrioso y belicista.

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.
