Fur Country
In 1859, a party of Hudson's Bay Company officers ventures into the frozen wilds of the Canadian Northwest, ordered to establish a fort at the 70th parallel. But something is wrong. The compass spins wildly. An earthquake tremors beneath their feet. Then comes the impossible: a total eclipse passes partial, and the tides simply cease. As the men struggle to understand what laws of nature have abandoned them, a terrifying realization dawns, they are not where the maps say they should be. They have stumbled onto an island that should not exist, a place where the very fabric of physics seems unraveled. Somewhere in the eternal night of the far north, a lone captain named Hatteras hunts his own obsessive dream: to reach the exact spot where the world's magnetic heart beats. Verne's extraordinary early novel weaves a tale of geographical mystery and human will, asking what happens when the map ends and the unknown begins.
