Sinopse

"Ticket No. '9672'" stands as a notable work in Jules Verne's illustrious oeuvre, exemplifying his mastery of adventure narratives intertwined with science and technology. This novella, published in 1889, showcases Verne's characteristic blending of realism with fantastical elements, set against the thrilling backdrop of human ingenuity and exploration. Through meticulous detail and vivid descriptions, Verne draws the reader into a narrative that emphasizes the perseverance of the human spirit, as evidenced in the protagonist's quest to reclaim a lost ticket on a grand railway journey that becomes a metaphor for life's broader challenges. Jules Verne, often hailed as one of the fathers of science fiction, possessed a rich background in engineering and a deep fascination with the possibilities of invention and exploration. His travels across Europe and exposure to the industrial advancements of the 19th century heavily influenced his narratives. Verne's ability to seamlessly weave factual science with imaginative speculation not only reflects his intellect but also his belief in progress and innovation as pivotal to humanity's future. I highly recommend "Ticket No. '9672'" to readers seeking an enthralling blend of adventure, speculative inquiry, and an exploration of human resolve. Verne's narrative will satisfy enthusiasts of both classic literature and science fiction, inspiring readers to reflect upon their own journeys amidst the unpredictable odds of life.

    Brady was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1883. In 1889, he was ordained a deacon in the Episcopal church, and was ordained a priest in 1890. His first wife was Clarissa Guthrie, who died in 1890. His second wife was Mary Barrett. Brady's first major book, For Love of Country, whilst telling the story of a fictitious John Seymour, was actually based in part on the true heroics of Nicholas Biddle, one of the first five captains of the fledgling Continental Navy. Brady was also famous for his views of feminism and Women's suffrage, he preached many anti-suffrage sermons and described women voters as "an insult to God". In 1914 Brady began working as a screenwriter at Vitagraph Company of America.
    FATE OF THE CASTAWAYS: My first determination was to seek a supply of breadfruit and water at Tofoa, and afterwards to sail for Tongataboo, and there risk a solicitation to Poulaho, the king, to equip our boat, and grant us a supply of water and provisions, so as to enable us to reach the East Indies.
