With an Introduction by Alex Dolby. Translation by W.H.G. Kingston.Jules Verne (1828-1905) is internationally famous as the author of a distinctive series of adventure stories describing new travel technologies which opened up the world and provided means to escape from it.

In a manner reminiscent of Robinson Crusoe, the men apply their scientific knowledge and technical skill to exploit the island\'s bountiful resources, eventually constructing a sophisticated society in miniature. The book is also an intriguing mystery story, for the island has a secret. Σελίδες: 528, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
