The story follows adventures of five Americans on an uncharted island in the South Pacific. The five Americans escape from prison during the siege of Richmond, Virginia, by hijacking a balloon.

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.
