The Master of the World

by Jules Verne

Overview

Though Jules Verne made his brilliant prediction of the flying machine and its effects on the world more than a hundred years ago, time has not erased the magnitude of his imagination. For in this adventure, the mighty airplane invented by Robur is still in many respects far ahead of our modern aircraft! Robur's "Albatross" could hover like a helicopter, sail the ocean like a battleship, dive beneath the waves like a submarine, and even travel across dry land. The exciting film, Master Of The World, based on these novels, is dramatic evidence of Verne's timeless appeal.
