Summary "De Wonderstraal; gevolgd door Tien uren op jacht" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives of two devoted uncles, Sam and Sib Melvill, who are deeply committed to their niece, Miss Campbell, as they ponder her future and potential marriage. The narrative blends themes of romance, adventure, and the quest for happiness, with a notable focus on the significance of the titular 'Green Ray'—a phenomenon said to provide clarity in matters of the heart. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Melvill brothers, who are characterized by their quaint and charmingly archaic personalities. They live together with their niece, Miss Campbell, in a picturesque Scottish setting, spending their lives in devoted service to her. The plot thickens when Miss Campbell expresses her wish to witness the mysterious Green Ray at sunset, which is believed to grant insight into love and truth. As preparations for a journey to the west coast of Scotland are made, the brothers plot to introduce her to a suitor, adding layers of tension as they navigate their niece's wishes and romantic prospects.
