After months of fruitless searching, they finally grapple with their quarry, but Aronnax, Conseil, and the brash Canadian harpooner Ned Land are thrown overboard in the attack, only to find that the “monster” is actually a futuristic submarine, the Nautilus, commanded by a shadowy, mystical, preternaturally imposing man who calls himself Captain Nemo. Thus begins a journey of 20,000 leagues—nearly 50,000 miles—that will take Captain Nemo, his crew, and these three adventurers on a journey of discovery through undersea forests, coral graveyards, miles-deep trenches, and even the sunken ruins of Atlantis. Jules Verne’s novel of undersea exploration has been captivating readers ever since its first publication in 1870, and Frederick Paul Walter’s reader-friendly, scientifically meticulous translation of this visionary science fiction classic is complete and unabridged down to the smallest substantive detail. less

They appear on a desert island in the Southern Hemisphere but they are not going to despair. Eventually it appears that their skills are all they need there to survive in their adventure. Will they discover the secret of the mysterious island? The Mysterious Island is an Adventure Adventure, Science Fiction and Fantasy Best Seller novel by Jules Verne, published in 1874. The original edition, published by Hetzel, The Mysterious Island is a crossover sequel to another Jules Verne's famous Science Fiction Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and an Adventure In Search of the Castaways, though its themes are vastly different from those books. An early draft of the novel, initially rejected by Jules Verne's publisher and wholly reconceived before publication, was titled Shipwrecked Family: Marooned With Uncle Robinson, seen as indicating the influence of the novels Survival Robinson Crusoe, and The Swiss Family Robinson. Verne developed a similar theme in his later novel, Godfrey Morgan. less
