Honba za meteorom / Hviezda juhu

Rate this book
Dva vedecko-fantastické romány od Julesa Vernea. Román Honba za meteorom rozpráva fantastický príbeh o meteore, objavenom dvoma priateľmi, amatérskymi hvezdármi Deanom Forsythom a Sydneym Hudelsonom - preto dostal názov Forsyth-Hudelsonov meteor. Meteor krúžil niekoľko týždňov okolo Zeme, keď Parížska hvezdáreň oznámila, že podľa výpočtov jej odborníkov má meteor v priemere päťdesiatpäť metrov, váži milión osemsto šesťdesiat sedem tisíc ton a je celý zo zlata, takže jeho cena je päť tisíc sedemsto osemdesiat osem miliárd frankov. Senzačné zistenie závratnej ceny zlatého balvanu rozpúta nepriateľstvo nielen medzi jeho objaviteľovi, ale naruší aj vzťahy medzi štátmi a národmi. Druhý román Hviezda juhu rozpráva príbeh z juhoafrických diamantových polí. V centre deja je "Hviezda juhu", diamant dovtedy nevídanej veľkosti a krásy.
