Více o knize
Set in 1900, the story revolves around Isaac Cline, a confident scientist who underestimates the power of nature, believing that a hurricane could never threaten Galveston, Texas. As America embraces a sense of invincibility, Cline's conviction highlights the era's hubris. The narrative captures the vibrant atmosphere of Galveston, perceived as a burgeoning metropolis, while foreshadowing the impending disaster that challenges both Cline's beliefs and the city's fate.
