À propos de ce contenu audio
The Mysterious Island is Jules Verne's 1874 novel of five castaways who turn a bare Pacific rock into a working nineteenth-century civilisation — and then discover the rock was never as empty as it looked.
It begins in the air. During the American Civil War, five Union men escape a Richmond prison in a hydrogen balloon: the engineer Cyrus Harding, his servant Neb, the war correspondent Gideon Spilett, the sailor Pencroft, and the boy Herbert Brown — plus a dog. A hurricane carries them thousands of miles and dumps them on an unknown island, without a match, a tool, a grain of corn or a single book.
What follows is the part readers remember: the island is rebuilt from nothing. Ore is smelted in a home-made furnace, iron tools are forged, nitroglycerine is synthesised from the island's own minerals, a telegraph wire is strung across the interior, a seaworthy schooner is built and named the *Bonadventure*, and a brick house is cut into the face of a granite cliff. Verne keeps the chemistry, the surveying and the astronomy exact, and the pleasure of the book is that none of it is magic.
But the island keeps answering back. A bullet is found in a wild boar. A box of tools, a new sail, a medicine chest and a message in a bottle arrive with no explanation. A castaway named Ayrton, marooned twelve years for his crimes, is rescued and slowly reclaimed. Pirates under Bob Harvey come for the settlement's growing wealth, and one of them is destroyed by something under the water that nobody on the island fired...
