Wells became famous for his. Forget minimalist designs: the Anacronópete is a colossal iron box that runs on electricity and, thanks to a mysterious \"García fluid,\" makes its passengers rejuvenate, thus traveling back in time. But this is not a conventional science fiction novel. It's a zarzuela: a comic, satirical, and musical journey that starts from the Paris Universal Exposition to visit the Battle of Tetuan, the Granada of the Catholic Monarchs, and 3rd century China. A cantankerous scientist, his love-struck niece, and a group of mischievous French showgirls travel aboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnrique Gaspar y Rimbau (1842-1902) was a Spanish diplomat and writer. His career as a consul led him to live in France and China, which provided him with a cosmopolitan perspective for his works. Although today he is mainly remembered for \"El anacronópete,\" in his time he was a successful playwright, with more than a hundred works, from historical drama to zarzuela. His mastery of stage language and agile dialogue is evident in this work, where he fused his interest in science and the future with the most popular format of his time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Enrique Gaspar y Rimbau\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gaspar \u0026amp; Rimbau\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Softcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdition:\u003c\/b\u003e 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788418613487\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePodcast\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePress play and travel back in time with us!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this episode of our podcast, we delve into the incredible universe of \"El anacronópete\".
