Het Geheimzinnige Eiland

De Luchtschipbreukelingen

by Jules Verne

Translated by Gerard Keller

"Het Geheimzinnige Eiland" by Jules Verne is a novel serialized from August 1874 to September 1875. Five Union prisoners escape the American Civil War by hijacking a balloon, crash-landing on a remote volcanic island. Led by engineer Cyrus Smith, they transform from castaways into colonists, building tools, shelters, and even a ship. But mysterious events suggest an unseen protector watches over them. When pirates threaten their survival, the island's secret—and its connection to Captain Nemo—finally emerges.
