«Los quinientos millones de la Begum» is the science fiction and adventure novel by Jules Verne, published by RBA Coleccionables in hardcover (224 pages, in Spanish).
Two men inherit equally the fortune of an Indian begum. The French doctor Sarrasin invests his half in France-Ville, a utopian and modern city in Oregon; the German professor Schultze uses his to build Steeltown, a fortress city dedicated to manufacturing weapons. The rivalry between both visions leads to a race of inventions and espionage.
It belongs to the «Biblioteca Julio Verne» collection and translates «Les cinq cents millions de la Bégum», an original work from 1879.
Readers of nineteenth-century adventure and science fiction classics, particularly those who value contrasts between utopias and industrial dystopias.
Jules Gabriel Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright.
