Title Le Horror Altissime
Note Translation of: The Horror of the Heights
Summary "Le Horror Altissime" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a collection of narratives that combines elements of horror and adventure, written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the mysterious account of an aviator named Joyce-Armstrong, who disappears during a high-altitude flight, uncovering themes of human fear and the unknown lurking in the upper atmosphere. Through the portrayal of Joyce-Armstrong's aspirations and the disturbing phenomena he encounters, the narrative challenges the boundaries of science and superstition. The story unfolds as Joyce-Armstrong embarks on a journey to soar above 12 kilometers, driven by ambition and a thirst for discovery. During his ascent, he confronts bizarre and terrifying creatures, which he refers to as an "aerial jungle," suggesting the existence of unknown life forms and potential dangers that lurk in the atmosphere. His encounters become increasingly surreal and horrifying, culminating in a battle for survival against a menacing entity that seems to transcend natural comprehension. The narrative integrates this scientific exploration with a deep sense of dread, ultimately leaving readers to ponder the thin line between ambition and peril in the vastness above the Earth. Joyce-Armstrong's fate remains uncertain, compelling readers to consider the overwhelming mysteries of the universe. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
