Description
This is Jules Verne's original sequel to a book that had fired his own youthful imagination but which he felt to be incomplete: Edgar Allan Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym. As Captain Len Guy starts on a voyage to search for his brother, events unfold with rapid speed. The narrative proceeds to build up our expectations of a spectacular "revelation" as only Verne can. At the same time the novel is very scientific and detailed. --Amazon.com.
