Description

A wealthy American Jeorling is looking for a passage back to the USA after private studies of the wildlife on the Kerguelen Islands. Halbrane is one of the first ships to arrive at Kerguelen, and its captain Len Guy somewhat reluctantly agrees to have Jeorling as a passenger as far as Tristan da Cunha. Underway, they meet a stray iceberg with a dead body on it, which turns out to be a sailor from Jane. A note found with him indicates that he and several others including Jane's captain William Guy had survived the assassination attempt at Tsalal and are still alive.

Author

Jules Verne (1828–1905) made curiosity feel like a form of travel. Under the sea, into the earth, around the world in a wager: the marvellous arrives with a logbook. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas is the cold thrill of a closed world moving through a larger one; Around the World in Eighty Days is speed, manners, and a clock that will not forgive. The books remain among the most companionable ever written for the restless.
