Mysterious Island

Since childhood, we have been accompanied by his extraordinary works: "Around the World in Eighty Days," "Captain at Fifteen," "In Search of the Castaways," "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas." This edition features one of Jules Verne's best novels, "The Mysterious Island." The adventurous plot interweaves a storm, a volcanic eruption, pirate attacks, and, of course, a story of survival on a speck of land in the middle of the ocean. Resourceful heroes, cast by a hurricane onto a deserted island, brew sugar and smelt steel themselves, make bricks, wool, glass, sulfuric and nitric acid, nitroglycerin and dynamite, and construct a telegraph and a spinning machine. "The Mysterious Island" is a gripping story of the islanders' adventures, a "survival guide," a hymn to human courage and willpower.

Thanks to the magnificent illustrations by Czech artist Zdeněk Burian (1905–1981), readers will be able to fully experience amazing adventures with the novel's heroes, make stunning discoveries, and feel the joy of triumphing over the elements.
