Product details

The lovely Helena grows up at the Scottish estate of her guardians, Uncle Sam and Uncle Sib, who not only share a snuffbox but also always complete each other's sentences. When Helena turns eighteen, the two decide to marry her off to the highly serious scholar Aristobulus Ursiclos, who seems to them to be a guarantee for their niece's happiness. However, she requests some time to think: she has read in the newspaper about the "green flash," a rare natural phenomenon that can only be observed at sunset over the sea on particularly clear days. According to legend, those who have seen the green flash will not be mistaken in matters of the heart. Accompanied by her uncles and their chosen candidate, Helena embarks on a journey along Scotland's west coast in search of the green flash and true love. Thanks to this special edition, Jules Verne's only love novel, originally published in 1882 and later adapted for the cinema by Eric Rohmer as The Green Ray, is finally available in a modern German translation. With humorous understatement and charming ease, the author takes us on this adventurous journey of discovery, which ultimately becomes a journey of the heart.
