Synopsis "El Rayo Verde (in Spanish)"

El rayo verde es considerado como el más romántico de los viajes extraordinarios de Julio Verne. La novela está basada en un fenómeno óptico real, llamado rayo verde por su color, que se produce bajo ciertas condiciones atmosféricas particulares: cuando el disco solar se esconde sobre una superficie muy llana (por ejemplo el mar), sus últimos rayos quedan muy refractados por la baja atmósfera, de tal manera que sólo llegan hasta el ojo del observador los colores amarillo y verde; se aprecia como un destello amarillo verdoso justo en el instante de ocultarse la parte superior del sol.

Jules Verne was a prolific French author who is considered one of the fathers of science fiction, alongside the English H. G. Wells. He began by writing some theatrical plays and published several short stories and scientific articles. His ambition was to write a new type of novel, one that combined adventure with scientific facts. That dream was fulfilled with Five Weeks in a Balloon, the first of his great novels. Verne was always very interested in the scientific novelties of his time. From that passion, seminal works of science fiction such as Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the Moon, and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea were born. Verne's influence goes beyond literature, as he has inspired several generations of people who have dedicated themselves to science.
