In Search of the Castaways

In Search of the Castaways Synopsis

According to the Introduction: "e;THE three books gathered under the title "e;In Search of the Castaways"e; occupied much of Verne's attention during the three years following 1865. The characters used in these books were afterwards reintroduced in "e;The Mysterious Island,"e; which was in its turn a sequel to "e;Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea."e; Thus this entire set of books form a united series upon which Verne worked intermittently during ten years. "e;In Search of the Castaways,"e; which has also been published as "e;The Children of Captain Grant"e; and as "e;A Voyage Around the World,"e;is perhaps most interesting in connection with the last of these titles. It is our author's first distinctly geographical romance. By an ingenious device he sets before the rescuers a search which compels their circumnavigation of the globe around a certain parallel of the southern hemisphere. Thus they cross in turn through South America, Australia and New Zealand, besides visiting minor islands."e;
