    Jules Verne

    Paperback (Bottom of the Hill Publishing, Jan. 1, 2014)
    Abandoned is the second in the Mysterious Island triad coming after The 'Mysterious Island and preceding The Secrete of the Island. Jules Gabriel Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction. He was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the profession early to write for magazines and the stage. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages Extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including A Journey to the Interior of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days.

    Jules Verne

    eBook (, Dec. 14, 2019)
    Explorers in a hot-air balloon land on an island, figuring that they must be the only inhabitants. However, they discover a bullet inside a wounded animal--one which must have been fired within the previous three months. The men propose to build a canoe so they can survey the island in search of other human life. Many adventures follow, one after another. They find a large chest filled with provisions and tools. Setting off in search of who might have left the chest, the travelers make their way through the Mercy River to the sea. During their trek, the men find remnants of the balloon they arrived in. Back at camp (Granite House) they find their ladder to the house has been removed--by invading orangutans. Soon the animals are defeated, except for one, whom they tame to become a house servant. The men construct a bridge over the river. They protect their abode by surrounding it on all sides with water. They undertake projects to make their colony habitable and comfortable. They create a hydraulic lift to replace the ladder. They build a seagoing boat for further exploration. Eventually they discover another human on Tabor Island, bringing him back to their now-well-stocked colony.

    Paperback (Blurb, April 26, 2019)
    The present romance, the second in the Mysterious Island triad, was originally issued in Paris with the title of L'Abandonn? Jules Verne's list of stories already ran then to some twenty volumes--a number which has since grown to almost Dumasien proportions. L'Abandonn? like its two companion tales, ran its course as a serial through the Magasin Illustr?of education and recreation, before its issue as a boy's story-book. Its success in both forms seems to have established a record in the race for popularity and a circulation in both the French and English fields of current literature. The present book was translated into English by the late W. H. G. Kingston; and is printed in EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY by special exclusive arrangement with Messrs. Sampson Low, Marston and Co., Ltd.
