"Hiilikaivoksessa" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around James Starr, an engineer who once ran the now-empty Dochart coal mine in Aberfoyle, Scotland, and his recollections of past work and friendships while dealing with a recent mysterious communication that prompts him to revisit the mine. The book examines themes of exploration, industrial change, and the nature of progress in a rapidly evolving society. At the start of the novel, James Starr receives two contrasting letters that invoke his curiosity and concern about his past in the coal mining industry. The first letter, from his old acquaintance Simon Ford, invites him to visit the mine for a potentially important revelation, while the second cryptically instructs him not to worry about the first. Driven by nostalgia and a sense of duty, Starr prepares for his journey, reflecting on his long career at the mine and the impact of its closure. As he embarks on this journey, the narrative hints at deep-seated mysteries surrounding the coal mines and the people connected to them, setting the stage for Starr's exploration of both personal history and industrial secrets.
