A Modern Daedalus is a novel written by Tom Greer and first published in 1885. The story follows the life of a brilliant inventor named John St. John, who is often referred to as ""the modern Daedalus"" due to his incredible inventions and technological advancements. St. John's inventions range from a flying machine to a submarine, and he is constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of science and engineering. However, his success comes at a cost, as he becomes increasingly isolated and consumed by his work. As the novel progresses, St. John faces numerous challenges, including financial setbacks and personal tragedies. Despite these obstacles, he remains determined to continue his work and make groundbreaking discoveries. The novel explores themes of ambition, isolation, and the pursuit of knowledge, and is considered a classic work of science fiction. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorianera technology and the minds of those who were pushing the boundaries of what was possible during this time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
