Mysterious Island - Shipwrecked in the Air
Mysterious Island - Shipwrecked in the Air, written by Jules Verne and first published in 1876, follows five Northerners during the final months of the American Civil War as they attempt to escape Richmond using a hot air balloon. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when a powerful gale sends them off course, forcing them to fight for survival in an uncharted land. This translation by Stephen W. White is noted for its faithfulness, although it condenses some of Verne's original content. This book is the first part of 'The Mysterious Island' trilogy, which includes 'The Abandoned' and 'The Secret of the Island.'
