Rendition In Pursuance Of Books The Star of the South (Extraordinary Voyages, #25)
Victor Cyprien, a French engineer currently living in the "Diamond Fields" of Griqualand, South Africa desires to marry the beautiful daughter of Mr. Watkins, a man who holds claims to the land that are the "Diamond Fields." Watkins has other plans for his daughter, which includes her staying in South Africa and marrying one of the wealthier diamond miners. To put himself in a better position to win the hand of Alice, Victor buys a share and begins working his own claim. However, Alice convinces him to return to chemistry and pursue his theory that he can synthesize a diamond. The experiment appears to work as a 243-carat diamond is created and named "The Star of the South," which he gives to Alice. When the diamond is stolen, Cyprien and three other potential suitors for the hand of Alice, travel across South Africa in pursuit of the suspected culprit.List Appertaining To Books The Star of the South (Extraordinary Voyages, #25)

Kelli wrote: "Great review Ahmad!!!"Thank you so much Kelli!Tiểu thuyết của Jules Verne, tuy không nổi tiếng bằng "Hai vạn dặm dưới biển", "Cuộc du hành vào lòng đất", nhưng cũng đầy lôi cuốn. Cũng là tiểu thuyết đầu tiên của Jules Verne mà tôi đọc nên cảm thấy rất thích cách kể chuyện của ông. Cyprien Mere, một kĩ sư hóa học người Pháp, đến tìm hiểu việc khai thác kim cương tại "Cánh đồng kim cương" ở Griqualand, Nam Phi. Chàng muốn cầu hôn tiểu thư Alice, con gái của John Watkins, chủ của khu đất khai thác kim cương. Nhưng John Watkins chỉ có kế hoạch
En África austral el auge de la exploración de diamantes está en su cumbre y entre la ciencia y el amor Cyprien Mere se queda para encontrar el diamante que lo haga merecedor del amor de Alice, la hija del comerciante más rico del Kopje. Y encuentra entonces la espléndida Estrella Del Sur, el diamante más grande hasta ese momento, pero el duro corazón del señor Watkins no cederá la mano de su hija, sino hasta después de muchas peripecias.
L'Étoile du sud = The Star of the South = The Southern star mystery = The Vanished Diamond (Extraordinary Voyages #25), Jules Verne The Vanished Diamond, also translated as The Southern Star, is a novel by Jules Verne, first published in 1884. The protagonist is a French mining engineer, Victor Cyprien. He moves to the Griqualand district to study the formation of diamonds. While he is there he falls in love with wealthy landowner Mr. John Watkins' daughter, Alice. He asks him for her hand in
A slow and maybe even slightly boring start, but a great story nevertheless. Once it really kicked in, it became a force to be reckoned with.
This was the first Jules Vern outside of the "Famous Four" (Mysterious Island, 20,000 Leages Under The Sea, Around the World In Eighty Days, and Journey To The Centre Of The Earth) that I found to read. Consequently, it has a special place in my heart....I think I would name my daughter Alice because of it. I wouldn't want to give anything away...it is too good. you just have to read it!
recomendada! es un libro que tiene de todo un poco.
