AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful edition belonging to the Hetzel Collection of "The Mysterious Island" by Jules Verne in a decorative binding "Back with the Anchor" or "With the World Map" and fully illustrated by Ferat.
A true laboratory of positivist thought, the island became the scene of a methodical reconstruction of civilization, founded on ingenuity, solidarity, and mastery of natural laws.
Verne employs a novelistic pedagogy, blending geology, chemistry, botany, mechanics, and astronomy, while instilling a growing mystery around invisible interventions that save the heroes on several occasions.
This suspense culminates with the revelation of Captain Nemo, secluded in the depths of the Nautilus, who embodies the tragic memory of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and the silent redemption of a broken man.
