Robur the Conqueror. By Jules Verne. Full Audiobook • Robur the Conqueror is a science fiction novel by Jules Verne, published in 1886. The story begins with strange lights and sounds, including blaring trumpet music, reported in the skies all over the world. Then black flags with gold suns mysteriously appear atop tall historic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty in New York, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. These events are all the work of the mysterious Robur, a brilliant inventor who intrudes on a meeting of a flight-enthusiasts' club called the Weldon Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Members of the Weldon Institute are all firm believers that mankind shall master the skies using lighter than air craft, and that heavier than air craft such as airplanes and helicopters would be unfeasible. The institute has been constructing a giant dirigible called the Go-ahead. During a heated discussion over where to place its propeller (in front to pull it, or behind to push it), Robur appears at the meeting and is admitted to speak. He chastises the group for being balloon-boosters when heavier than air flying apparatuses are the future. When asked if Robur himself has made conquest of the air , he states that he has, leading to him accepting the title Robur the Conqueror . During his short time at the Weldon Institute, Robur so incites the members that they chase him outside. Just as they are about to attack him, Robur appears to vanish into the mob, but he has actually been borne away by a flying machine. Later that night Robur kidnaps the Weldon Institute's president, Uncle Prudent; his secretary, Phil Evans; and valet, Frycollin. He takes them on board his ship, a huge, battery-powered aeronef called the Albatross, which has many vertical airscrews to provide lift, and two horizontal airscrews in a push-pull configuration to drive the vessel forward. It bears the same black flag with golden sun that has been sighted on so many landmarks, and a crewman playing a trumpet accounts for the music in the sky. To demonstrate the vessel's superiority, Robur takes his captives around the world in the course of three weeks. Prudent and Evans are angry at Robur for kidnapping them and unwilling to admit that the Albatross is a fantastic vessel, or that their notions of lighter than air superiority are wrong. The book is also known as The Clipper of the Clouds .. • More: Robur the Conqueror, Jules Verne, Audiobook • Science Fiction, Adventure, Inventor • Flight, Weldon Institute, Philadelphia • Black Flags, Statue of Liberty, Great Pyramid of Giza • Eiffel Tower, Clipper of the Clouds, Master of the World • 00:00:00 Chapter 1.
