The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne
"The Mysterious Island" by Jules Verne is a novel serialized from 1874 to 1875. Five Union prisoners escape the American Civil War by balloon, crash-landing on a remote volcanic island in the Pacific. Led by engineer Cyrus Smith, they transform themselves from castaways into colonists, building tools, shelter, and even a ship. Yet mysterious events suggest an unseen presence watching over them—unexplained rescues, strange gifts, and invisible protection. When pirates threaten their
sanctuary, the island's deepest secret finally emerges, connecting their fate to another legendary adventure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
