Publisher's Synopsis
The Green Ray is a novel by Jules Verne, first published in 1882. The story follows the journey of Helena Campbell, a young woman who is searching for the elusive ""green ray"" - a rare optical phenomenon that occurs at sunset, when the sun briefly turns green before disappearing below the horizon. Helena is determined to witness this event, believing that it will bring her true love and happiness. She sets off on a journey with her friend, Jacques, and together they travel through Scotland and the Hebrides, encountering various obstacles and adventures along the way. The novel is a romantic adventure, filled with Verne's trademark attention to detail and scientific accuracy. It explores themes of love, friendship, and the beauty of nature, as well as the human desire for the unattainable. Verne's vivid descriptions of the Scottish landscape and the sea make the book a visual feast, and his characters are well-drawn and engaging. The Green Ray is a charming and delightful read, perfect for fans of Verne's other works or anyone looking for a classic tale of adventure and romance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
