Quiquendone is a small town in West Flanders, whose citizens are the wisest, most sociable and hospitable people. The town's mayor, Van Tricasse, claims that the one if a person dies without having decided anything in his life then he has attained perfection. One day, Dr. Ox comes to the mayor with an offer. He wants to build a gas lightning system, at no cost for the city. However, Ox's intentions are completely different and this seemingly noble deed is just a facade. Will Van Tricasse accept the proposal? And what is Dr. Ox's real plan? Find all the answers in Jules Verne's humorous science fiction story 'The Mysterious Dr. Ox' from 1872.
