Items related to The Mysterious Island
The Mysterious Island is a novel by Jules Verne, published in 1874. The original edition, published by Hetzel, contains a number of illustrations by Jules Férat. The novel is a crossover sequel to Verne's famous Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and In Search of the Castaways, though thematically it is vastly different from those books. An early draft of the novel, initially rejected by Verne's publisher and wholly re conceived before publication, was titled Shipwrecked Family: Marooned With Uncle Robinson, seen as indicating the influence on the novel of Robinson Crusoe and The Swiss Family Robinson. Verne developed a similar theme in his later novel, Godfrey Morgan.

"One of the best storytellers who ever lived."
About the Author:
Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French novelist and one of the founders of science fiction. He felt that one should stick as close as possible to actual science even when constructing wild adventure tales such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea or From the Earth to the Moon.
