Publisher Description
The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne is the fascinating tale of five Americans who escape via a hot air balloon to an uncharted island in the South Pacific.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The second title in Wesleyan's new Early Classics of Science Fiction series is Sidney Kravitz's translation (14 years in the making) of Jules Verne's castaway epic, The Mysterious Island. Like the new Modern Library edition (noted in Forecasts, Dec. 24), it boasts black-and-white illustrations and is unexpurgated; unlike it, this volume contains a Verne chronology and brief biography, endnotes, appendixes and information about previous translations.

Wow
This book is amazing!!! Great for school purposes or just for those who like a good survival story and good vocabulary. Took me about a month to read it though, oh well
