  • The book contains a large amount of scientific knowledge, especially as it relates to the foundations of emergency survival, colonization, and eventual civilization. One of the escaped prisoners is engineer Cyrus Smith (or Cyrus Harding in some translations). He determines, through methods available to anyone with a watch, that the island is "between the 35th and 40th parallels" south, and "between the 150th and 155th meridians west of the Greenwich meridian." According to the book, their island is at least 1200 miles from Tahiti and Pomotau, 1800 from New Zealand, and 4500 from the Americas.
  • The Mysterious Island is the one-hundred and sixth issue of the Winx Club Comic Series.
  • The Mysterious Island (or L'Île Mystérieuse, if you want to use the original French title) is a novel by Jules Verne. Originally published in 1874, the book is essentially a castaway story. During the American Civil War, 5 Union Soldiers and their dog companion escape a Confederate prison in a hot air balloon. Unfortunately, a storm blows them off course and they end up on a deserted island, which they are forced to make their new home. This being a Verne story, our heroes are far too industrious to merely survive. Over the course of the book, they tame the island and reconstruct the civilization they left behind. They become quite content in their new home, but never enough to abandon their ultimate quest to re-establish contact with the rest of the world.

  • The Mysterious Island (or L'Île Mystérieuse, if you want to use the original French title) is a novel by Jules Verne. Originally published in 1874, the book is essentially a castaway story.

They become quite content in their new home, but never enough to abandon their ultimate quest to re-establish contact with the rest of the world. If this sounds familiar, it's because it's based on Alexander Selkirk, whose life-story had already served as the basis for Robinson Crusoe and The Swiss Family Robinson. Possibly as a way to distinguish itself from the other two books, Verne's yarn adds a mystery sub-plot. Someone or something is watching over the castaways; apparently aiding them at times, but whether their ultimate objective in doing so is for good or ill remains unclear for much of the book. Fun fact: While this isn't the most famous of Verne's works, it has the distinction of having inspired two major franchises: Myst and Lost.
