Synopsis
Excerpt from The World Masters
High above the night-shrouded street, whose silence was only broken by the occasional tramp of the military patrol or the gruff challenges of the sentries on the fortifications, a man was walking, with jerky, uneven strides, up and down a vast attic in an ancient house overlooking the old Fisher's Gate, close by where the River Ill leaves the famous city of Strassburg.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book follows Emil Fargeau, an Alsatian scientist whose groundbreaking discovery grants him control over the world's magnetic tides. His life's work is the culmination of scientific advancements made by the likes of Faraday, whose theories Fargeau has transformed from concept to reality. For years Fargeau has toiled in obscurity, sacrificing everything in pursuit of his dream to give France dominion over the world. However, when he finally presents his invention to the French Minister of War, he is met with skepticism and dismissal. In his despair, Fargeau entrusts the secret of his discovery to Captain Victor Fargeau, a German soldier and subject of the very nation that stole his beloved Alsace from France. As the secret makes its way into the hands of others, the true nature of its power is laid bare. The ability to control the magnetic tides means the ability to control the flow of prosperity and adversity, potentially enslaving entire nations and reducing them to the status of medieval fiefdoms. This book explores the moral and ethical quandaries that arise when one man is given dominion over the fate of humanity. Ultimately, it asks the question: who is worthy of such power, and what might become of humanity if it falls into the wrong hands? This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331827061_0
