About This Novel
During the American Civil War, five Union prisoners escaped from the Confederate base camp in a balloon. They encountered a storm on the way and were thrown onto an uninhabited island in the South Pacific. These castaways relied on their wisdom and extraordinary perseverance to overcome many difficulties. They not only made bows and arrows for hunting, but also made pottery, glass, windmills, telegraphs, and mapped the geographical location of the island. They lived on the island for four years and built it into a prosperous paradise. They have also encountered many difficulties, such as lack of food, lack of medicine, and even attacks by pirates, but there is always a mysterious figure helping them secretly. This person is Captain Nemo, the protagonist in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". They also discovered a "savage" who had lived on the island for twelve years. He was the pirate who betrayed Captain Grant in "Captain Grant's Sons"... Finally, in a volcanic eruption, several people almost died until the "Duncan" commanded by Captain Grant's son Robert rescued them back home. This book is the last in the "Jules Verne Ocean Trilogy". The plot of the novel is ups and downs and thrilling. Although it has been published for more than a hundred years, it has always been highly praised and loved by readers all over the world.
