Synopsis "The Adventures Of A Special Correspondent Among The Various Races And Countrie's of Central Asia"

A fascinating travel adventure may be found in Jules Verne's The Adventures of a Special Correspondent. Claudius Bombarnac, a reporter tasked with travelling from a port on the Caspian to China through the Transasiatic Railways, serves as the protagonist of the novel. A fascinating cast of individuals, including one who is attempting to break the round-the-world record and another who is a stowaway, go with him on this expedition. In order for his novel to be more than simply a dry travelogue, Claudius hopes that one of them will end up becoming the protagonist. When a special car, guarded by soldiers, is added to the train and is claimed to be transporting the remains of a famous Mandarin, he is not dismayed. The huge Mandarin is really a sizable shipment that is being sent back to China from Persia. Unfortunately, the train must pass through a significant portion of China that is under the corrupt rule of robber-chiefs. Claudius locates his hero before the voyage is over.

Jules Gabriel Verne, conocido en los países hispanohablantes como Julio Verne (Nantes, 8 de febrero de 1828-Amiens, 24 de marzo de 1905), fue un escritor, dramaturgo y poeta francés, célebre por sus novelas de aventuras y por su profunda influencia en el género literario de la ciencia ficción.
Nacido en una familia burguesa, estudió para continuar los pasos de su padre, Pierre Verne, como abogado pero muy joven decidió abandonar ese camino para dedicarse a la literatura. Su colaboración con el editor Pierre-Jules Hetzel dio como fruto la creación de Viajes extraordinarios, una popular serie de novelas de aventuras escrupulosamente documentadas y visionarias entre las que se incluían las famosas De la Tierra a la Luna (1865), Veinte mil leguas de viaje submarino (1870), La vuelta al mundo en ochenta días (1872) o La isla misteriosa (1874). Ya antes había publicado Cinco semanas en globo (1863) y Viaje al centro de la Tierra (1864).
Es uno de los escritores más importantes de Francia y de toda Europa gracias a la evidente influencia de sus libros en la literatura vanguardista y el surrealismo, y desde 1979 es el segundo autor más traducido en el mundo, después de Agatha Christie. Se le considera, junto a H. G. Wells, uno de los «padres de la ciencia ficción». Fue condecorado con la Legión de Honor en 1892 por sus aportes a la educación y a la ciencia.
