A beautiful unabridged version translated by Stephen White with 67 original illustrations by N. C. Wyeth. Published in French as L'Île Mystérieuse in 1874, this novel is a sequel to Verne's earlier Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas . It contains three main sections: Dropped From the Clouds, Abandoned, and The Secret of the Island. It was influenced by other books such as Robinson Crusoe and The Swiss Family Robinson . During the American Civil War, five Union prisoners of war decide to escape during the siege of Richmond, Virginia, by hijacking a balloon. The balloon lands on an uncharted island in the South Pacific and the men establish a new life on the island.

Rating the edition, not the book
I bought the book as a gift, swayed by the "100 years anniversary" and "illustrated edition". While the quality of printing is good, no complaints there, please note that this is one of those "print to order" paperbacks, not an offical edition done by a publishing house. So while it is ok for private reading, I wouldn't give it as a gift. Refunded because of that.
