Louis Le Prince: The Man Who Invented Film—Then Vanished Forever

Before Thomas Edison and the Lumière brothers became famous for their contributions to cinema, there was Louis Le Prince—a visionary inventor who captured the world's first motion picture. Yet, just as he was preparing to unveil his groundbreaking creation, he mysteriously vanished without a trace.

His disappearance in 1890 remains one of history's most baffling unsolved cases. Was he the victim of foul play, a tragic accident, or something even more sinister? With no body, no clues, and no answers, Le Prince's fate has fueled speculation for over a century.

This book unravels the story of the forgotten pioneer of film, his revolutionary work, and the mystery that swallowed him whole. Discover the man who should have been remembered as the father of cinema—but instead became its greatest enigma.
