Los číslo 9672 – Verne Jules (2025)

The story of the novel takes place in Norway, in the province of Telemark. Here, widow Hansen runs an inn with her daughter Hulda, while her son Joël works as a mountain guide. Hulda Hansen is waiting for the return of her fiancé Ole Kamp, who promised her great wealth after a voyage aboard the fishing boat Viking. However, when Ole does not return and fears grow that the ship is lost forever, a bottle with a message for Hulda is found. But it is not just any message – it is a lottery ticket with the number 9672. Ole set out on the voyage with the hope of becoming rich and securing his family's future. What does the mysterious lottery ticket mean? Is it supposed to bring great wealth to Hulda? And if so, will it be worth it if Ole is dead? The revelation of the unfortunate story of the engaged couple brings great interest in the lottery ticket, which, according to public opinion, must have a high chance of winning due to its fate. However, despite all the financial offers, Hulda does not intend to sell it, as it is not just a ticket for her, but also a letter that brought the last message from her beloved. Verne masterfully weaves conflicts, intrigues, and a strange chain of events around something as small as a piece of paper.
