Publisher's Synopsis

The Green Ray is a novel written by Jules Verne, a French author who is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers of science fiction. The story follows the journey of a young woman named Helena Campbell, who is on a quest to see the elusive ""green ray"" that appears just as the sun sets over the ocean.Helena is accompanied on her journey by her friend Jacques, a young man who is secretly in love with her. Together, they travel to Scotland, where they meet a group of scientists who are also interested in the green ray. The scientists tell Helena and Jacques that the green ray is a rare optical phenomenon that occurs when the sun sets and its light is refracted by the atmosphere.As Helena and Jacques continue their journey, they encounter a number of obstacles and challenges, including bad weather, dangerous cliffs, and even a group of pirates. But despite these setbacks, they remain determined to see the green ray and experience its mystical powers.Ultimately, The Green Ray is a story about the power of nature and the human spirit, as Helena and Jacques overcome adversity to achieve their goal. It is also a reflection on the beauty and wonder of the natural world, and the importance of pursuing one's dreams and passions.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1883 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
