The Purchase of the North by Jules Verne Book Review

Purchase of the north jules verne

President Barbicane along with his illustrious brothers in The Gun Club have formulated another engineering marvel. Their syndicate, the N.P.A.A (North Polar Practical Association)– offers subscriptions to raise the necessary funds to purchase The North Pole. Land mass of 400,000 square kilometers above the 84th parallel.

Delegates from around the world are invited to participate in the auction. The Americans easily outbid everyone. The North Pole is auctioned off to the highest bidder.

The N.P.A.A announces their intention to mine the North Pole for coal. The world is wondering how they will succeed as nobody has seen the coal or even set foot in the area purchased by the Gun Club.

No matter. The Gun Club has a plan. In top secret they send Barbicane and Capt. Nicholl to Kilimanjaro. The same crew that shot a projectile to the moon and back construct a massive cannon. A gun so large it will disrupt the axis of the earth, move the tropics, adjust the rotation of the planet enough to melt the pole, thereby releasing the coal from its icy tomb.

The world is in uproar. Great devastation and colossal earth changes are feared. Sea level rise, new mountain ranges, and terrible barometric pressure effects are forecast.

On the day the massive gun is set to detonate, nothing happens. It’s a dud. The plan is a failure. The same brotherhood of men who perpetrated the moonshot hoax (NASA) are unable to succeed in shifting the pole. President Barbicane, Capt. Nicholl and J.T. Maston are ridiculed. Many jokes and songs are written about their epic failure.

How did they fail? Three zeros were removed from the formulae used to calculate the density of earth. NASA decimal point error. The End.
