"Per luchtschip 'De Argonaut' naar Mars" by Albert Daiber is a science fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows Professor Stiller, a prominent astronomer, who is driven by a deep fascination for Mars and the prospect of traveling there. The narrative opens with Stiller overseeing the construction of his innovative airship, "De Argonaut", as tensions arise with the builders due to miscommunication and complications, setting a suspenseful tone for the impending journey. At the start of the book, we are introduced to a serene night sky over Stuttgart, where the determined Professor Stiller is in his observatory, eagerly preparing for a direct observation of Mars. His passion for the planet leads to a proposal for an unprecedented expedition, igniting conflict with his childhood friends and shipbuilders, Blieder and Schnabel, due to their stubbornness during the airship's construction. Stiller's frustrations reveal not only the challenges of his quest but also his deep-seated desire to meet the advanced inhabitants he believes reside on Mars. As preparations intensify and tensions mount, readers are drawn into a story that promises adventure, discovery, and the perils of human ambition.
