The Duncan, a new ship of the Scottish aristocrat Sir Glenarvan, caught a shark during its trial voyage. The sailors found a drift bottle in the shark's belly. The letter in the bottle was blurred due to being soaked in seawater. According to the remaining handwriting, it can be inferred that this is a distress letter sent by a captain named Grant two years ago. He was trapped somewhere at the 37° south latitude. Lord Glenarvan turned to the English navy for help in rescuing Captain Grant, but to no avail. At the request of Captain Grant's children, Mary and Robert, he decided to set sail on his Duncan to search. They searched all the land at 37 degrees south latitude: Chile and Argentina in South America, the interior of Australia, and New Zealand. They were surrounded by dangers along the way. They climbed mountains and glaciers but encountered sudden earthquakes, crossed grasslands and encountered droughts and floods, and encountered beasts on land and storms at sea.

The title of the novel is taken from Eliot's "The Waste Land". The protagonist Tony Rust and his wife Brenda live together in an old Gothic building called "Hutton Manor", leading a quiet, comfortable, almost secluded country life. When Tony went to London on business, he accidentally met John Beaver, who could only be regarded as an acquaintance. Out of courtesy, Tony invited him to his home. John Beaver was a playboy who had nothing to do all day long and soon came to visit the manor. Beaver's visit ended the originally peaceful world of Tony and his wife. He talked to Brenda about all the lively scenes and anecdotes in London's social world. Tired of the boring country life, Brenda couldn't resist the temptation, so she rented a house in London in the name of study, returned to the long-lost social world, and gradually fell in love with John Beaver. The unexpected death of Tony and Brenda's only son, Andrew, led to the eventual breakdown of their marriage. In order to relieve his depression, Tony went to the Amazon forest with an explorer to find a buried ancient city. Unfortunately, he became a prisoner of the local indigenous people and was stranded in a distant land forever.

"The Happy Prince" is a fairy tale written by British aestheticist writer Oscar Wilde, which is included in "The Happy Prince and Other Stories". The story tells the story of the Happy Prince, who did not know what sorrow was when he was alive, and witnessed all kinds of suffering in the world after his death, and the story of the swallow who sacrificed himself to help others. The city outlined in "The Happy Prince" is a microcosm of British society during the Victorian period. Wilde incorporated various ugly phenomena that occurred in real society into the story, ruthlessly lashing and exposing the cold society at that time. He expressed deep sympathy for the compassionate Happy Prince and Swallow's charity relief activities for the people at the bottom of society and their ultimate failure. At the same time, the story itself also hinted at the author's ideal social system tendency and fundamentally questioned the moral principles of the society at that time.
