Before the flag
Original title: Face au drapeau
Synopsis
In front of the flag is a novel that narrates the perispecies of a scientist who creates a very powerful weapon: the Roch burglar, in a clear reference to the atomic bomb. This novel is a clear exponent of Verne's mentality regarding weapons, Germany's growing power and militarism and the role that science can play as a monster creator in the figure of a crazy scientist who has an invention capable of the greatest benefits or of the greatest misfortunes. This work, along with "The 500 million of the Begun," is considered to be the anticipation of weapons of mass destruction, especially the atomic bomb.
