Based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, who survived alone for almost five years on an uninhabited island off the coast of Chile, The Mysterious Island is considered by many to be Jules Verne’s masterpiece. “Wide-eyed mid-nineteenth-century humanistic optimism in a breezy, blissfully readable translation by Stump” (Kirkus Reviews), here is the enthralling tale of five men and a dog who land in a balloon on a faraway, fantastic island of bewildering goings-on and their struggle to survive as they uncover the island’s secret.

Written in 1863, long before the advent of automobiles, electric street lights, and computers, Jules Verne's vision of a strange and unusual world predates both "Brave New World" and "1984", and bests both of those dystopian classics in its amazingly accurate depiction of a technologically extraordinary and socially alienated future world.
