Synopsis

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.

About the Author:

Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French novelist and one of the founders of science fiction. He felt that one should stick as close as possible to actual science even when constructing wild adventure tales such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea or From the Earth to the Moon.
