{"product_id":"9780803234840","title":"The Secret of Wilhelm Storitz: The First English Translation of Verne's Original Manuscript","description":"\u003cbr\u003eWidely rumored to exist, then circulated in a corrupt form, Jules Verne’s final and arguably most daring and hauntingly beautiful novel—his own “invisible man”—appears here for the first time in a faithful translation. Readers of English can rediscover the pleasures of Verne’s storytelling in its original splendor and enjoy a virtually unknown gem of action, adventure, and style from a master of French literature.\u003cp\u003eWilhelm Storitz, the son of a famous Prussian scientist (and possessor of his father’s secrets—even, perhaps, a formula that confers invisibility), vows revenge on the family that has denied him the love of his life, Myra Roderich. Wilhelm’s actions on the eve of Myra’s wedding unfold in a surprising and sinister way, leading to an ending that will astonish the reader.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLike many works left unpublished when Jules Verne died, \u003ci\u003eThe Secret of Wilhelm Storitz\u003c\/i\u003e was prepared and edited by his son, Michel. After a century of obscurity, this unique work in Verne’s oeuvre is finally in the hands of readers, in a fine, authentic translation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNP - Bison Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011446751472,"sku":"9780803234840","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780803234840_p0.jpg?v=1763724886","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780803234840","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
