Jules Verne

Jules Verne (1828-1905) is internationally famous as the

author of a distinctive series of adventure stories describing

new travel technologies which opened up the world and

provided means to escape from it. The collective enthusiasm

of generations of readers of his ‘extraordinary voyages’ was

a key factor in the rise of modern science fiction.

In The Mysterious Island a group of men escape imprisonment

during the American Civil War by stealing a balloon. Blown

across the world, they are air-wrecked on a remote desert

island. In a manner reminiscent of Robinson Crusoe, the

men apply their scientific knowledge and technical skill

to exploit the island’s bountiful resources, eventually

constructing a sophisticated society in miniature. The

book is also an intriguing mystery story, for the island has

a secret.
