A simple, short and funny story.
Having become familiar to Jules Verne's big adventure novels, it was a little strange that this one didn't go much further than Scotland and its islands, despite the heroes' calls to sail around the globe (which I thought would end up being followed by the heroes)... but nay!
This short novel is, in fact, more of a romance than an adventure story. However, this style of writing, surprising for Jules Verne, is not without its humour and poetry (many quotations from Ossianic poetry). I found each of the characters amusing, even if unoriginal - the insufferable Aristobulus Ursiclos, the dreamy and adventurous Helena Campbell, the clichéd 'fine artist' Olivier Sinclair, and the inseparable duo of the Melvill brothers.
In short, an enjoyable read, but the plot is a little too superficial. ( )

La novela cuenta la búsqueda por parte de los tíos de una joven prometida en matrimonio por ellos, de este fenómeno óptico que puede verse en determinadas ocasiones cuando el sol desaparece en el horizonte del mar, la leyenda dice que dos personas que lo contemplen a la vez quedan enamorados el uno del otro.

"Abbiamo visto la felicità stessa, quella che la leggenda collegava all'osservazione di questo fenomeno! Dato che l'abbiamo trovata, mio caro, ci basti, e lasciamo a quelli che non la conoscono (e che vorrebbero conoscerla!) la ricerca del Raggio Verde."

molto gustoso e niente a che vedere col film di Rohmer
