MI COMENTARIO:
El inventor francés Thomas Roch desarrolla un nuevo tipo de explosivo con un enorme poder destructivo: el “fulgurador Roch”; lo ofrece a varios países, pero es rechazado. Destrozado por este acontecimiento, termina recluido en un sanatorio mental para ricos en Carolina del Norte, EE.UU. Aquí lo cuida el ingeniero francés Simon Hart, que también trabaja con una identidad falsa.
Al ser un sanatorio modelo, es visitado repetidamente por personas interesadas, entre ellas el conde de Artigas, que secuestra al inventor y a su cuidador. A medida que avanza la trama, los acontecimientos se muestran desde el punto de vista de Simon Hart. Primero tiene que resolver el enigma de cómo se mueve la goleta del Conde a pesar de que las velas no están izadas y el motor no está presente. La solución sólo se le aclara en el destino del viaje, la isla de Back Cup en las Bermudas, cuando lo llevan en un submarino al interior de esta isla.
El narrador en primera persona conoce la isla porque ya la ha visitado debido a los rumores de que es un volcán despertado. Allí, Hart descubre que el presunto conde es el pirata Ker Karraje. Éste eligió la isla como refugio para su pandilla y simuló la actividad volcánica mediante explosiones selectivas. El objetivo de Karraje es poseer el arma desarrollada por Roch para finalmente ser invulnerable. De hecho, parece congraciarse con el inventor, quien desarrolla para él los explosivos y cohetes que desea.
Como Hart no ve otra opción, envía un mensaje en una botella al mundo exterior con todos los hechos que ha aprendido. Después de un intento inicialmente fallido de liberación por parte de un submarino de la Armada británica, la isla es atacada por cinco buques de guerra de diferentes países. Después de hundir inicialmente uno de los barcos (el alemán), Roch finalmente reacciona ante la colocación del pabellón tricolor francés en uno de los barcos restantes y se hace volar a sí mismo y a toda la isla. Sólo sobrevive Simon Hart.
Aparecen en la obra varios temas que serían muy relevantes en la ficción de espionaje hasta nuestros días: el desarrollo de armas de destrucción masiva, el peligroso posibilismo científico, la búsqueda de información estratégica, etc. Pero hay un detalle que no se suele tomar en cuenta en las reseñas del libro: el gobierno de Estados Unidos fue el que decidió encerrar a Roch en el sanatorio Healthful-House, con la directiva de “anotar con minucioso cuidado todo lo que inconscientemente se le escapara en el curso de sus crisis”. Anticipa así Verne la captación de mentes brillantes por parte de los gobiernos de los países, una práctica central en la competencia de las potencias mundiales durante los siglos XX y XXI.
 
ADAPTACIÓN AL CINE

Roch), Miroslav Holub (Artigas), Frantisek Slégr (capitán pirata), Václav Kyzlink (ing. Serke), Jana Zatloukalová (Jana), Frantisek Cerný (cap. Spade), Otto Simánek (Muz ve vlaku) y Václav Trégl.

By feeds.thesailingchannel.tv
Published On :: Tue, 04 Jul 2017 11:00:00 -0400

Lin Pardey resides on a picturesque island along New Zealand's coast. Recently, New Zealand TV filmed Lin as she reminisced about her sailing career with husband, Larry.
Lin and Larry Pardey are among America's (and the world's) most knowledgeable and recognized cruising sailors. During their 40 plus year career, they sailed over 200,000 miles, including two circumnavigations east to west and west to east aboard two self-built, wooden, engine-free cutters under 30 feet. Authors of a dozen books, countless magazine articles, and co-creators of five cruising documentaries, Lin and Larry have shared their sailing experiences with tens of thousands around the globe prompting many to take up sailing and live the dream of the cruising lifestyle. The Pardey's motto is "Go simple, go modest, go small--just go".

At the 2010 United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis, MD, TheSailingChannel interviews Edson Marine President, Will Keene.
