"Les Indes Noires" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around James Starr, an engineer who is drawn back to the now-abandoned coalmines of Aberfoyle after receiving a mysterious letter that promises a significant and interesting disclosure. This invitation, however, is soon contradicted by another letter that implies a change of plans, piquing Starr's curiosity and determination to uncover the truth behind the invitation. The beginning of the novel introduces us to James Starr, who reflects on his long career in the coal mines as he receives two contrasting letters: one summons him to revisit the mines of Aberfoyle, while the second implies the visit is no longer needed. Intrigued by the first message from his old colleague, Simon Ford, and spurred by questions raised by the second letter, Starr decides to investigate. As he journeys towards the mines, he contemplates the changes that have occurred in the area since the mines were abandoned and the implications of his past experiences. The atmosphere is built with suspense as new developments and the presence of other intriguing characters loom ahead, signaling a deeper mystery that awaits discovery in the depths of Aberfoyle.
