Vet dat dit eind 19e eeuw is geschreven en een van de eerste sci-fi boeken is. Het verschil in de tijdsgeest is duidelijk te merken.

An influential relic of sci-fi history that, while it can slog at points, bears striking resemblance to the disaster films of today and makes for a captivating retelling of tragedy.
