Propeller Island

Description

Volume 41 of 54 of Jules Verne's "Extraordinary Voyages", first printed in 1895. A string quartet finds themselves playing a most unusual venue: a massive man-made island, known as Standard Island. Larger than any watercraft ever devised, the island is home to only the most wealthy. It is no paradise, however, as a conflict between two rival factions on the island threaten the order and security of the floating island. Exhaustively reproduced from surviving English editions, this rare Verne work is now simply presented for all to enjoy once more.
