Matijaš Sandorf

Matijaš Sandorf

Jules Verne

Matijaš Sandorf is an exciting adventure novel that belongs to the best part of Verne's work. It was published in 1885, and was first printed in Croatia in 1988. In part of the novel, Jules Verne describes the Pazin Cave and the Pazin Castle.

The novel takes us into the wonderful world of coded messages and fake names, unsafe dungeons and safe ships. Into a world where fate can always bring happiness, but only if honor and courage help it. As in the most beautiful stories...

In this novel, Verne talks about a group of Hungarian conspirators who tried to overthrow the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in the second half of the nineteenth century. Although the reader cannot learn anything from this novel about the social and political circumstances of the time (because Verne is completely ignorant of South Slavic historical circumstances), the work offers us a much more valuable lesson - it clearly shows us that the true value of Verne's literature is not in the accuracy of the data, but in the magic of the narrative work of the imagination.

The book is illustrated with numerous excellently suggestive drawings by L. Bennett from the first French edition published in 1885. The accompanying texts printed at the end of the book were written by Morana Čale Knežević and Roland Barthes.
