The Tremendous Event is a novel written by French author Maurice Le Blanc and first published in 1922. The story is set in Paris during the early 20th century and revolves around a mysterious event that shakes the city to its core. The protagonist, Georges Ragon, is a journalist who becomes embroiled in the investigation of the event, which involves the sudden disappearance of the Eiffel Tower. As Ragon delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a plot by a group of anarchists to destroy the city and overthrow the government. Along the way, he falls in love with a young woman named Hortense Daniel, who becomes his partner in the investigation. Together, they race against time to stop the anarchists and save Paris from destruction. The Tremendous Event is a thrilling adventure story that combines elements of mystery, romance, and political intrigue. It is considered one of Le Blanc's most popular works and has been adapted for film and television several times.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
