The Titanic sank more than 100 years ago. We are now publishing one of those curious books that have attracted many readers throughout the 20th century, since it was written fourteen years before the famous shipwreck and tells a practically identical story: an ocean liner called Titan sinks in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean after colliding with an iceberg. The Titanic looks disconcertingly similar to the Titan that Robertson created in fiction: they even match in weight, length and passenger capacity. Also, the Titan was a ship with excessive luxury that carried an insufficient number of lifeboats. Some believe that it is a mere coincidence and others that the author wrote a premonitory book of what would happen years later, which gives the text a clear historical interest. Morgan Robertson was a visionary, like Jules Verne, of whom this novel will undoubtedly remind us stylistically.
