Description

Five Americans find themselves marooned on an enigmatic isle after a daring balloon escape. Filled with discoveries—from hidden treasures and sheltering cliffs to cryptic messages from a shadowy benefactor—the island tests their resilience and ingenuity. An epic tale of adventure and survival, it delves into humanity's ceaseless quest for mastery over nature's secrets.

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.
