Features: Each English novel in this series contains approximately 12,000 words, covering almost all common English vocabulary. To maintain reading interest and continuity, it is recommended that readers try to grasp the main idea of the sentences. Additionally, readers should make full use of the Chinese translation. The translation is provided side-by-side with the original text on the same page, helping readers read conveniently and flexibly. When encountering unfamiliar words or difficult sentences, readers can refer to the translation. For particularly confusing passages, there is no need to strain to understand them—readers can directly refer to the translation. With the comparative translation available, readers are spared the trouble of constantly consulting a dictionary and can also get a glimpse into the art of English translation. This is precisely the purpose we carefully designed. Of course, readers will gain more than just English from this novel—the story itself has also inspired us greatly. We believe that by following the above suggestions, readers will benefit greatly from reading this book. Jules Verne's historical stories are not as famous as his other works—such as science fiction and adventure novels—but they are equally fascinating and interesting. The reason these works are less known may be because they were published only after the author's death. This novel has been appropriately shortened based on the original, mainly cutting out minor parts, such as the description of how Marc Vidal fell in love with his fiancée, Mirra Rottlicity. The story takes place in the mid-18th century, when European science had already made some progress, but remnants of witchcraft and superstition still had a strong influence. The novel itself reflects the coexistence of science and superstition at that time. The secret of William Storz is yet to be discovered by readers who carefully read this book. His secret was left to him by his father, Otto Storz, a very famous German chemist at the time. Moreover, this novel also reflects the author's genuine emotions, such as my deep affection for my brother, Marc Vidal. This brotherly bond is portrayed extensively in the novel, and readers can truly experience it.
