(Èric) The mysterious Island

2021-04-23 11:28:23 UTC

Author: Julio Verne
In it you can see the admiration of its author for applied science, so present in all his work, synthesizing it through one of his characters that contains within himself the knowledge and the ability to adapt to the environment of man: the engineer Cyrus Smith . Said character, endowed with extensive general knowledge, articulates the story and makes it credible. The book is part of a trilogy that also comprises Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and The Children of Captain Grant. As Verne himself clarified to his editor, this would be "a novel dealing with chemistry": starting from practically zero, the protagonists even manage to manufacture sulfuric acid, one of the most advanced chemical products of the time.
