Jules Verne is a remarkable writer, creator of the science fiction novel, one of the most widely read French authors in the world. Since childhood, we have been accompanied by his extraordinary works: Around the World in Eighty Days, The Fifteen-Year-Old Captain, The Children of Captain Grant, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. This edition presents one of Jules Verne's best novels, The Mysterious Island. The adventure plot includes a storm, a volcanic eruption, pirate attacks and, of course, a story of survival on a piece of land in the middle of the ocean. The resourceful heroes, thrown out by a hurricane on an uninhabited island, boil sugar and smelt steel themselves, make bricks, wool, glass, sulfuric and nitric acid, nitroglycerin and dynamite, design a telegraph and a spinning machine. "The Mysterious Island" is a gripping story of the adventures of islanders, a "survival guide", a hymn to human courage and willpower. Thanks to the magnificent illustrations by the Czech artist Zdenek Burian (1905-1981), readers will be able to fully experience amazing adventures with the novel's heroes, make amazing discoveries, and feel the joy of victory over the elements.
