The Mysterious Island

Beschreibung

The Mysterious Island tells the exciting story of five Americans stranded on an uncharted island in the South Pacific. During the American Civil War, Richmond, Virginia was the capital of the Confederate States of America. Five northern prisoners of war decide to escape Richmond in a rather unusual way - by hijacking a balloon. After flying in stormy weather for several days, the group crash-lands on a unknown, cliff-bound, volcanic island. Ultimately, Captain Nemo plays an important role in the resolution of this novel.

Autor

Jules Verne was a 19th century French novelist, poet and playwright. Known for his bestselling adventure novels that explored cutting edge technology at the time, Verne's portrayals offer an interesting retrospective into how the world has evolved in the last 150 years. His characters and situational contexts are generally humorous and light and offer a perfectly enjoyable escape into Verne's non-conventional mind.
