The Mysterious Island

Informationen zum Autor "The reason Verne is still read by millions today is simply that he was one of the best storytellers who ever lived." — Arthur C. Clarke. Jules Verne started out composing librettos, but the French-born author's passion for travel and exploration compelled him to turn to adventure tales, creating the prototype for today's science fiction. One of the most translated authors in the world, Jules Verne is best known for his classics, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days. Klappentext Five prisoners of war escape their Confederate jail by hijacking a hot-air balloon. Stranded on a remote island, the fugitives must withstand pirate attacks, volcanic eruptions, and other challenges.
