The Mysterious Island (Illustrated): The Classic Edition with Original Illustrations - 2827

Survive the storm. Uncover the secret. Witness the genius of man in Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island, unabridged and beautifully illustrated in this special edition. When five daring prisoners of war escape by balloon from a besieged city, they crash-land on a remote, uncharted island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Stranded but not defeated, the group—an engineer, a journalist, a sailor, a servant, and a young boy—must use their wits and courage to survive the harsh wilderness and build a new life from nothing. Led by the brilliant and resourceful Cyrus Harding, the castaways transform their volcanic island into a thriving settlement. But not everything on Lincoln Island is what it seems. Strange occurrences—unexplained rescues, mysterious tools, and unseen helpers—point to a powerful, hidden force at work. As the truth unfolds, the island’s greatest secret will challenge everything they thought they knew about the world. Verne’s thrilling tale of survival, ingenuity, and discovery is the perfect read for lovers of science, mystery, and high-stakes adventure.
