Description

The Castaways of the Flag: The Final Adventures of the Swiss Family Robinson

This story is a sequel to Their Island Home, which takes up the adventures of the Swiss Family Robinson at the place where the author of the original narrative dropped them. The Swiss Family Robinson seems to have affected Jules Vernes literary bent as no other book ever did. It gave him that liking for the lonely island life as the basis of a yarn which is conspicuous in much of his work. In a preface to the story of which this is really a part he tells how firmly New Switzerland established itself in the fabric of his thoughts, till it became for him a real island inhabited by real people. At last he was compelled to write about it, and Their Island Home and The Castaways of the Flag are the result. The youth of Europemany generations of itowes a big debt to the old romancer who worked for so many years in his turret room at Amiens to entertain it. From that room, with its many bookshelves, came volume after volume of adventure, mostly with a big admixture of the scientific. M. Verne was not one of those who pile hairbreadth escapes one upon another till they become incredible. There are plenty of things happening in his books, but they are the sort of things that would happen, given the circumstances, and he explains why and how they chanced in the most convincing manner possible. In these days of submarines and aeroplanes it is interesting to read again the wonderful Frenchmans forecast of them in such books as Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea and The Clipper of the Clouds. Round the World in Eighty Daysthe task would be an easy one now, but at the time when he wrote it required great ingenuity to make it seem possible; and the end of that book is one of the most ingenious things in fiction, though it has for justification a simple geographical fact. Phineas Fogg was a day late, as he believed. He had apparently lost his wager. But, having gone round the world in the right direction, he had gained a day, and just won. If he had gone the other way he would have been two days late, for a day would have been lost to himcut right out of the calendar! ......Buy Now (To Read More)
