Representaion As Books The Castle of the Carpathians (Extraordinary Voyages, #37)

A change of pace for the indomitable Monsieur Jules Verne...The Carpathian Castle is about things that bump in the night, images which cannot be there but are, weird noises heard yet unknown to the human ear, bravery or lack of; duty or madness the option... who prevails..The story published in 1892 five years before Bram Stoker immortal classic Dracula set in the heart of Transylvania, ( you can draw your own conclusion ) not adventures in remote corners of the world, or fantasy , science-fiction which the author is associated with , still superstitions dominate the people here living in the past little understanding the modern. Strangers they suspect, too many wars and upheavals experienced by them to trust. When the abandoned local castle begins to show disturbances, unexplained lights in the nocturnal dark, smoke arising above the edifice, creepy sounds from the direction of this structure, citizens living in the small village called Werst are concerned putting it mildly, since they keep away from the castle not getting nearer than two miles. So when two tourists arrive in their hamlet they take an interest. Count Franz de Telek and his servant and friend Rotzko, travelers from outside the region are questionable , why have they come deep into the formidable Carpathian Mountains for hikers, enemies probably. The recent "accidents" by two men from the village investigating the ominous commotions in the feared castle, the brave forester Nic Deck and the not quite so doctor Patak without a license, still recovering from the trauma both, one physically the other mentally , makes the atmosphere tense. The discovery this place has a connection to a tragic past love affair of the Count brings pain from bad memories and yet hope, he must go discover the truth. The very owner of the Carpathian Castle and rival for the love of an opera singer in Italy is the despised Baron Rodolphe de Gortz, the affections of the exquisite La Stilla though five years ago still stings. He the Count needs to go and find his destiny no matter what transpires, better death than a life of uncertainty. I never get tired of this writer for his striving to entertain the reader, the smooth style, the very eagerness to please while giving a preview to the world of the wonderful (maybe) future, and the fascinating quite exciting ( others say rather scary ) the strange new gadgets ,
their great potential, most of all his professionalism ..yes...the father of science-fiction, seller of tens of millions of books and still going strong...the obvious reason why is...
he cared...so do the readers.

The original French text is available at eBooks@Adelaide.The English version which was kindly found by Wanda can be found at OpenLibraryThe Carpathian Castle (French: Le Château des Carpathes) is a novel by Jules Verne first published in 1893. It is possible that Bram Stoker took inspiration from this for his 1897 novel Dracula.Opening lines:Cette histoire nest pas fantastique, elle nest que romanesque. Faut-il en conclure quelle ne soit pas vraie, étant donné son invraisemblance? Ce serait une

Nice story with pretty accurate info about habits and places... and here it is an article (in romanian language) about the possible circumstance which might have led to this story: http://www.turismtur.ro/castelcarpati...

The castle of the Carpathians, or le château des Carpates, as my copy of the book says, is a story of superstition, science, bravery, cowardice, love, and madness.We're in a remote village in the mountains of Transylvania. A shepherd buys a pair of binoculars from a traveling salesman and through them he can see further and clearer than he thought was humanly possible. Through the lens he spies off to the distance at the old castle that has been standing empty and abandoned for many years now.

A ghost story that was really about science. And now I've officially read something by Jules Verne that wasn't the Wishbone edition.

This book is an interesting mix of themes related to both Dracula and Phantom of the Opera, with a bit of early sf thrown in. On the border of Transylvania (where else?) a shepherd sees smoke rising from the long-deserted castle of Baron Rodolphe (sic). He and the local doctor (a cowardly skeptic) investigate and are driven off by apparently supernatural forces. A curious traveler, Baron Franz von Telek, also investigates and sees what appears to be a beautiful opera singer he had almost married

One of Verne's shorter novels, and one that may appeal mostly to Verne fans rather than casual readers or to those who know Verne only through Around the World in 80 Days or one of his other famous novels. But Castle in Transylvania displays elements from the gothic and the romantic, plus some geographical information that was mandatory for Verne's contract with publisher Hertzel for the Voyages Extraordinaires series. It also incorporates some scientific information, which may seem oddly

Just finished reading The Castle in Transylvania (1892) by Jules Verne. Apparently designed to capitalize on the current vampire and zombie craze, this brand new translation of Vernes Le Château des Carpathes, is touted on the front as The original zombie story and the back cover proclaims: Before there was Dracula, there was The Castle in Transylvania. this is the first book to set a gothic horror story, featuring people who may or may not be dead, in Transylvania.Oooookay.The blurb on the
