Karakatu, Muhammad Matar

Now available in electronic version via: Google Play and Google Book About a hundred years ago, the traveler and Greek philosopher Cosntaninos laid the foundations of a revolutionary project that had no equivalent in human history. He made Indonesia, specifically Sumatra Island, the stage for implementing his great experiment by taming Krakatoa, one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the modern world and the owner of the largest explosion, which had a force equivalent to three Hiroshima bombs. In an attempt to make it a tool to reduce natural disasters and halt the changing of the Earth's terrain. This project returns to the spotlight again, driven by a world from Bulgaria, a mysterious group in Greece, a child from Saudi Arabia, and an Indonesian investigator — each with their different goals towards Krakatoa, whether seeking the latest scientific discoveries, madness for glory, the desire for a better life, or simply limitless ambition. 639 pages Issued 1439 (2018)
