Description:Synopsis: It is almost impossible not to conceive of the future as an extended projection of the present. That is true for Verne, but even more so for Emilio Salgari, for whom the year 2000 signified the point of convergence of all possible futures, the time when they would crystallize into a kind of inevitable destiny. Seen today, that future is presented as a range of possibilities that year after year is narrowing more and more, until it is reduced to what it definitely is. The Wonders of 2000 was published for the first time in 1907, but it can be presumed that it was written in 1903, since it is toasted with champagne "for our resurrection in 2003". Two men, willing to know the future, ingest a potion that will keep them asleep for a hundred years.About the Author: Italian writer, Emilio Salgari was born in Verona, Italy, on August 21, 1862, and died in Turin, Italy, on April 25, 1911. The son of a merchant family, as a young man he served aboard a ship that toured the Adriatic and Mediterranean coast, but there is no evidence that he made more voyages by sea, although he claimed that the exotic places that appeared in his books were based on sites that he had personally visited.Salgari began to prepare at the Royal Naval Technical Institute P. Sarpi in Venice, but did not get to obtain the title of captain that he longed for.
