'meraviglie del Duemila' Summary
In "Le meraviglie del Duemila", Emilio Salgari ci racconta come immaginava i nostri anni 2000. Il romanzo narra la storia di due uomini che, grazie alla scoperta di un principio attivo di una strana pianta esotica che sospende le funzioni vitali, riescono a viaggiare nel tempo per ben cento anni, spostandosi dal 1903 al 2003. Si trovano quindi a vivere in una società profondamente modificata e potranno così conoscere un mondo popolato da macchine volanti, treni sotterranei e velocissimi, città sottomarine e molte altre meraviglie tecnologiche; tutto ha un'unica fonte di energia: l'elettricità, segno del progresso ma anche fonte di "inquinamento". In molte parti del romanzo troviamo elementi realmente presenti nella realtà odierna, come la televisione (nel libro il giornale viene trasmesso così), o anche la plastica (descritta come una strana sostanza simile al metallo ma bianca).Book Details
