Shipwrecked Family
by Jules VerneThe Palik Series of Jules Verne, Published in conjunction with the North American Jules Verne Society, Edited by Brian Taves Shipwrecked Family: Marooned with Uncle Robinson Castaway by pirates on a deserted island.
without tools or supplies to survive.
a mother and her children have only a kindly old sailor to help.
But what explains the strange flora and fauna they find? The second volume in the Palik series, presented by the North American Jules Verne Society, offers another story never before published in English.
Shipwrecked Family was rejected by Verne's publisher, so rather than finish it, he began to rewrite it with new characters-and that became the classic, The Mysterious Island, where Captain Nemo made his last appearance.
Here, then, is Verne's first draft of that novel, one which is very different from the book that it became.
Expert translation is provided by Sidney Kravitz, also translator of the definitive modern edition of The Mysterious Island.
BearManor Media is pleased to present, in conjunction with the North American Jules Verne Society, a series of stories that have never before appeared in English translation.
Tales from fantasy to humor, of castaways, outlaws, and swashbucklers, even stage plays, here are all the adventures that have made Verne such a beloved author.
These books are unavailable from any other publisher, and the series has been underwritten by the generous bequest of the late Society member, Ed Palik, for whom it is named.
Leading Verne scholars from around the world are collaborating to bring readers the finest translations and analysis about each story, under the general editorship of Society Vice President Brian Taves.
Each volume is lavishly illustrated with engravings from the original French editions of Verne's stories.

About Jules Verne
Jules Gabriel Verne was a French author who pioneered the genre of science-fiction. He is best known for his novels Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before navigable aircraft and practical submarines were invented, and before any means of space travel had been devised. He is the third most translated author of all time, behind Disney Productions and Agatha Christie. His prominent novels have been made into films. Verne, along with H. G. Wells, is often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction"....
