Jules Verne is a wonderful writer, the 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, Fifteen-Year-Old Captain, Captain Grant's Children, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. This edition presents one of the best novels by Jules Verne "The Mysterious Island". 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 are woven into the adventurous plot. Resourceful heroes, thrown by a hurricane on a desert 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. "Mysterious Island" is an exciting story of islanders' adventures, a "survival guide", a hymn to human courage and willpower. Thanks to the magnificent illustrations of the Czech artist Zdenek Burian (1905–1981), readers will be able to fully experience amazing adventures with the characters of the novel, make amazing discoveries, and feel the joy of victory over the elements.
