The plot was crazy, weird and strange.  But very well written.  It reads well and its speed was directly corresponding to what was happening.  The plot was well written and not cluttered with unnecessary twists and turns.  The ending of the story was chaotic, slightly goofy (like the whole plot : -⁠)), but very good.

Another well thought out science fiction novel by Verne, although the antisemitism in the original version of the story which is noticeable from the very beginning doesn't really help when it comes to fully enjoying it to say the least...

Contele: „Poftim cartea mea de vizită!”

Căpitanul: „Iat-o pe-a mea!”

 

— Nu, domnule căpitan, nu-mi convine să vă cedez locul.

— Regret, domnule conte, dar pretenţiile dumneavoastră nu le vor schimba pe ale mele.

— Sigur?

— Cât se poate de sigur.

— Vă atrag totuşi atenţia că trebuie să aveţi în vedere că am fost înaintea dumneavoastră, deci primul.
— Iar eu, vă răspund că, în privinţa asta, vechimea nu poate crea niciun drept.

— Voi şti să vă silesc să-mi cedaţi locul, domnule căpitan.

— Nu cred, domnule conte.

— Îmi închipui că o lovitură de sabie…

— Nu mai mult decât un foc de pistol.

— Poftim cartea mea de vizită!

— Iat-o pe a mea!

După aceste cuvinte, care răsunară ca nişte încrucişări de sabie, adversarii îşi schimbară cărţile de vizită între ei.
