Karl and Pieter Kip are Dutch sailors, castaways in the South Pacific, when they are rescued by the brig James Cook and prove their worth by helping to suppress a mutiny during a storm at sea. They are honest, brave, and entirely without guile. They are also, when the ship's captain is found dead, the most convenient suspects available.
The real killers are still on board. The court in Hobart Town is not interested. And the machinery of colonial justice, once set in motion, does not easily reverse itself.
Published in 1902 as the fiftieth entry in Jules Verne's celebrated Voyages Extraordinaires series, The Kip Brothers is one of the most surprising novels of his career — part South Pacific adventure, part courtroom drama, part meditation on the Dreyfus Affair that had convulsed France throughout the 1890s. Inspired by the real case of the Rorique brothers, wrongfully convicted by a French colonial court, and dedicated to the memory of Verne's own brother Paul, it is a novel about what brotherly loyalty looks like under the most extreme pressure, and about whether the truth can survive in a system that does not want to find it.
Neglected for over a century and unavailable in English until 2007, The Kip Brothers reveals a Jules Verne that most readers have never encountered: darker, angrier, and more politically engaged than the optimistic adventurer of legend.
By Jules Verne. Author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in Eighty Days.
