Good Story
24. Mai 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I liked the story but it got a bit long and drawn out mapping the travels. Would have been much better with more focus on the characters instead of the locations but of course it was written for a different audience.

A great classic. It would have recieved 5 star if not for the many glaring typos and spelling errors in my ebook.
Reads like a Travelogue
21. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I am a huge fan of Jules Verne; The Mysterious Island (Modern Library Classics) is my all-time favorite book.... period. Over the years I have read about a dozen books by Verne, and unfortunately, "Robur the Conqueror" is among my least favorite (The only one I can think that ranks below Robur is Measuring a Meridian: The Adventures of Three Englishmen and Three Russians in South Africa) The problem is that Robur reads as travelogue - one describes the locations the locations that the airship is flying over, but little else.
In terms of characters- Jules Verne has never been known for his character development (with a few very notable exceptions), but in Robur the lack of character development is almost comical. The reader is left with no understanding of why Robur created his airship or what his intent was with the kidnapping of the three men. A few of the other reviewer mentions Verne's treatment of Fycollin - which would probably been considered racist even in the 1880's .
The good - as usual Verne describes a technology that was still in the dreams of man. The flying airship is a sort of a helicopter with a multitude of rotors. While it is very doubtful that the ship would fly as it is described - but it is an interesting explanation.
Final verdict - There are plenty of other Verne books out there to read - Make sure you read Around the World in 80 Days and/or Five Weeks in a Balloon: Or, Journeys and Discoveries in Africa by Three Englishmen (Classic Reprint) before considering Robur.
