Illustrated by Edouard Riou
"The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras" by Jules Verne is an adventure novel published in 1866. The story follows British Captain John Hatteras's obsessive quest to reach the North Pole in 1861, convinced the polar sea remains unfrozen. When mutiny destroys his ship, Hatteras presses forward with a small, loyal crew. They endure a brutal Arctic winter, survive encounters with polar bears, and ultimately discover a volcanic island at the pole itself—where Hatteras's relentless ambition leads to a haunting conclusion that changes him forever.
