O ovoj e-knjizi
The Wreck of the Titan: Or, Futility is a novella written by Morgan Robertson and published as Futility in 1898, and revised as The Wreck of the Titan in 1912. It features a fictional British ocean liner Titan that sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. The Titan and its sinking are famous for similarities to the passenger ship RMS Titanic and its sinking 14 years later. After the sinking of the Titanic the novel was reissued with some changes, particularly in the ship's gross tonnage.
O autoru
Morgan Robertson, born on September 30, 1861, in Oswego, New York, is a figure of enduring intrigue in American literature. Best known for his novella "Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan," Robertson's work has sparked endless fascination due to its eerie premonition of the Titanic disaster, written 14 years before the actual event. This uncanny prediction has cemented his place in literary and cultural history, often leading to speculation about his prophetic abilities.Robertson's early life was marked by the sea; he served as a merchant marine, which profoundly influenced his writing. His maritime experiences provided authentic detail and a palpable sense of realism in his sea tales, making them resonate with readers and critics alike. His works often explored themes of human fallibility, the capriciousness of fate, and the relentless power of nature—ideas that continue to captivate modern audiences.Despite his literary achievements, Robertson's career was not without controversy. He claimed to have invented the periscope, a statement that was met with skepticism and has been a subject of debate among historians. This claim, whether true or not, adds a layer of complexity to his persona, painting him as a man of both vision and enigma.Robertson's influence extends to contemporary writers who delve into speculative fiction and maritime adventure. His ability to blend technical knowledge with compelling storytelling set a precedent that many have followed. Though he passed away in 1915, Morgan Robertson's legacy endures, a testament to his unique blend of foresight, experience, and narrative skill.
