In the year 1866, I was marked by a special event, something unexplained and inexplicable that no one has forgotten. Put aside the rumors which agitated people overexcite ports and public opinion of the continents, boats, foremen and patterns in Europe and Asia, the Navy officers from all countries and governments of the various states the two continents were delivered to the event.

But this increased when the boat Scotland on 13 April 1867, being quietly at sea felt like something he stumbled so mild that notice not only in the engine room, install a des because they informed the captain the boat capsized.

Logically this news was the straw that broke the camel because the phenomenon was becoming hostile, which led to the US Navy for a boat will give chase, this is where comes in three characters that does not leave the scene until the end of the book being Professor Aronnax, his assistant Conseil and the harpooner Ned Land, the professor and his assistant invite you to take part in this expedition while I was harpooner crew. After walking to several leagues across the ocean, they encountered the monster or the artifact but when he was attacked by throwing on the deck with water pipes and power such that in just a second half cuvette do deserted of staff. This boat shot Ned Land and Conseil Aronnx, after a long night was rescued by him showed.

What did they discover? He showed that he is a machine driven by electricity, built by human hands be defying all physical and chemical law. A machine that can soak up to 19 000 leagues withstand pressures impressive variants as well as ocean temperatures and deep seas that could be hot or cold, can be without renewing your indoor air up to 72 hours, and have a capacity for a crew of 600 men, who need to take food, clothing, paper, ink, snuff, and a large etc. Of the land and the sea that provides all you need for it to be rare or unique.

And that horrible wreck scene with his crew ...! All these events were held in ten months and around the globe with a total of 20 000 Leagues.

Nemo being my favorite character, deserves more description carved. A disciple of Gratioler or Engen had read in his face like an open book. I certainly recognize its key qualities: confidence, as their head stood nobly in the arc formed by the line of the shoulders, and his dark eyes were cold security; calm, as their skin, pale rather than colored, announcing the tranquility of the blood; the value, finally, for his wide breath denoted a vital expansion.

I would add that this man was proud, his gaze reviewed seemed to reflect lofty thoughts, and that of cough this set, the homogeneity of expression in the actions of body and face, following the observation of physiognomy, was an undeniable frankness.

The Shattering Book 15

Thrall, the wise shaman and the war chief of the Horde, has sensed a disturbing change...

Long ago, Azeroth's destructive native elementals raged across the world until the benevolent titans imprisoned them within the Elemental Plane. Despite the titans' intervention, many elementals have ended up back on Azeroth. Over the ages, shaman-like Thrall has communed with these spirits and, through patience and dedication, learned to soothe roaring infernos, bring rain to sun-scorched lands, and otherwise temper the elementals' ruinous influence on the world of Azeroth.

Now Thrall has discovered that the elementals no longer heed the shaman's call. The link shared with these spirits has grown thin and frayed as if Azeroth itself were under great duress. While Thrall seeks answers to what ails the confused elements, he also wrestles with the orcs' precarious future as his people face dwindling supplies and growing hostility with their night elf neighbors.

Meanwhile, Varian Wrynn of Stormwind is considering violent action in response to mounting tensions between the Alliance and the Horde, a hard-line approach that threatens to alienate those closest to him, including his son, Anduin. The conflicted young prince has set out to find his own path, but in doing so, he risks becoming entangled in political instability that is setting the world on edge.

The fate of Azeroth's great races is shrouded in a fog of uncertainty, and the erratic behavior of the elemental spirits, troubling though it is, may only be the first ominous warning sign of the cataclysm to come.
