Captain Grant's Children (verne Science Fiction Classic)
About This Novel
"Captain Grant's Children" is one of Verne's famous trilogy. The novel tells the story of Lord Glenarvan, the owner of the "Duncan", who obtained clues about the Scottish navigator Captain Grant who was lost two years ago and requested the British government to send a ship to search for him. The British government has always been discriminatory against the Scots and actually rejected his request. Sir Glenarvan resolutely decided to form his own team and complete this task himself. He took Captain Grant's children with him through the grasslands of South America, across the interior of Australia and New Zealand, and circled the earth once. Along the way, they overcame countless difficulties and dangers with unparalleled perseverance and bravery, and finally found Captain Grant on a desert island in the Pacific. This book denounces poverty, unemployment, and the oppression of others, indicts the colonial system, and expresses sympathy for those people struggling for freedom.
