Reviews"The reason Verne is still read by millions today is simply that he was one of the best storytellers who ever lived." -Arthur C. Clarke "[Verne's] masterpiece . . . In many ways this 'scientific Robinsonade' was the epitome of Verne's life work." -Peter Costello

SynopsisBased on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, a man who survived by himself for almost five years on an uninhabited Pacific island off the coast of Chile, Jules Verne's page-turnerThe Mysterious Islandis a tale of five men and a dog who escape Civil War Richmond in a balloon during a storm and land on a faraway and uncharted island where they must overcome nature's harsh elements to create from scratch a civilization for themselves. Currently available only in an abridged 1970s translation and, in full, only in a dated nineteenth-century translation that is stuffy and limp, turning the muscular, breathless tone of the original into something overwrought and melodramatic,The Mysterious Islandis restored here to its original robustness in Jordan Stump's striking new rendition. This major re-presentation also features an Introduction by Caleb Carr, and over eighty illustrations reprinted from the original 1875 French edition., The night passed in the midst of dangers that would have proved fatal to souls less courageous; and with the coming of day the hurricane showed signs of abatement.
