Summary "Flyvefisken »Prometheus« (En Fremtidsfantasi)" by Vilhelm Bergsøe is a science fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a future setting where advancements in technology and engineering have reshaped human experience, particularly focusing on the fantastical invention of an airship, the "Flyvefish," which holds the promise of both speed and agility in aerial travel. This imaginative work combines themes of exploration, innovation, and the profound impact of scientific discovery on society, featuring the protagonist, William Stone, as he embarks on an extraordinary journey aboard this remarkable vessel. At the start of the story, the protagonist is writing a letter from the tropics, reflecting on a previous meeting with a friend while introducing the innovative and somewhat fantastical world shaped by advanced technology. Stone shares his excitement about the upcoming maiden voyage of the airship "Prometheus," designed by the ingenious Professor Swallow. His journey to board the vessel is filled with anticipation, despite a slight skepticism from those around him regarding the feasibility of such air travel. As the narrative develops, Stone describes the intricate workings of the "Flyvefisken," its design inspired by nature, and he revels in the potential of this magnificent invention. The opening sets a vivid scene of a blend between a speculative future and a thrilling adventure, framing what promises to be an engaging exploration of both human ambition and the perils of innovation.
