Les Indes Noires

Name: Les Indes Noires
Author: Jules Verne

Un ingénieur revient aux houillères abandonnées d'Aberfoyle, où la fermeture des puits disperse la communauté ouvrière et où un dernier bloc de charbon marque la fin d'une époque. La remise en exploitation d'une fosse déclenche une série d'événements souterrains mêlant phénomènes inexplicables, expériences techniques, péripéties de sauvetage et révélations sur des habitations cachées. Le récit associe suspense et éléments romanesques, suit les relations entre plusieurs personnages touchés par le destin de la mine, et confronte progrès scientifique et légendes locales au cœur des galeries.
