Description
"Paris in the Twentieth Century" is set in a dystopian vision of Paris in the 1960s, as imagined by Verne in the 19th century. The protagonist, Michel Dufrenoy, is a young poet and literature student who faces challenges in this futuristic society. The novel explores the clash between art and technology, as Michel navigates a world dominated by technological advancements, bureaucracy, and a lack of appreciation for artistic pursuits. Verne's predictions in "Paris in the Twentieth Century" include innovations such as high-speed trains, automobiles, gas-powered vehicles, and even a version of the internet. Despite these accurate predictions, the manuscript was deemed too pessimistic by Verne's publisher, and it was never published during his lifetime.
