Idee des Doctor Ox
by Jules Verne
'Idee des Doctor Ox' Summary
In dem fiktiven Städtchen Quiquendone vergeht die Zeit in einem gemütlichen, fast schon lethargischen Tempo. Der Stadtrat benötigt Jahrzehnte, um eine Entscheidung zu treffen, und die Einwohner scheinen die Langsamkeit zu genießen. Eines Tages taucht Doktor Ox auf, ein geheimnisvoller Erfinder, der das Städtchen mit einer neuen, sensationellen Gasbeleuchtungsanlage ausstatten möchte. Der Stadtrat, sonst so langsam in seinen Entscheidungen, ist plötzlich von dem Plan begeistert und bewilligt Doktor Ox' Vorschlag erstaunlich schnell. Doch ist Doktor Ox wirklich so uneigennützig, wie er vorgibt? Hinter seinem Angebot verbirgt sich eine dunkle Wahrheit, die das Leben der Quiquendoner für immer verändern wird. Jules Verne, Meister der Science Fiction und Satire, entführt uns in eine Welt, in der Fortschritt und Technik nicht immer zum Wohle der Menschheit dienen.Book Details
