Jules Verne : Captain Grant's Children before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Captain Grant's Children:

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Verne still relevantBy C. SantasJules Verne: Captain Grant's ChildrenI was in love with Jules Verne's stories when I was a child, and still am, though he is not a distinctive literary master, like his contemporaries, Flaubert or Zola. No matter. Verne knew how to spin a tale, smoothly mixing sciene, history and geography, and daring the reader's imagination to fly off into the future. His stories have become famous movies (The Trip to the Moon, Around the World in Eighty Days), but there is nothing like the living page. Unfortunately, his works have been poorly distributed in the United States, and when they appear, they are botched beyond recognition--for the most part. Captain Grant's Children (also known as In Serach of the Castways) is a 600 page novel, that takes the reader from the Argentine Pampas, to South Africa, the Indian Ocean, Australia, New Zealand, and along the 37th Parallel, when a Scottish nobleman, Lord Glenarvan searches for a fellow Scotchman, Captain Harry Grant, who was lost while searching for a place to found a Scottish colony. Aside from breathtaking adventures involving climbing the Andes, being saved from an earthquake, suviving a deluge, a terrible sea storm, Australian bandits, New Zealand Maoris--and other disasters, the story is one of camaraderie among friends, the children of Grant, a stoic Scottish major, a garrulous French geographer, the inimitable Paganel,a group that never loses their moral fiber and reach their happy destination and come back to their beloved Scotland. A bit maudlin? Not at all in fact. There is humor, adventure,and good-heartedness, along with treachery. Hollywood could perhaps take notice and make one of the great epic adventures of all time. This volume is condensed--of course--but it saves enough space for all the essentials.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Excellent and engrossingBy EmrysOne of Verne's more engaging works; with three distinct locations, the story never loses momentum by getting bogged down with too many geographical, botanical, and biological details (although there are plenty). For those, like myself, who read first, this book addresses the character of Ayrton and ought to be read first.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Cpt Grants childrenBy Gatis ErenpreissI read this book in in 1940ies in Latvian language. I enjoyed reading it again.

A message in a bottle relays an urgent plea from the long-missing Captain Grant. His ship, the Britannia, has sunk. He is alive but is being held hostage. Captain Grant's children, Mary and Robert, along with their friend and benefactor Lord Glenervan launch a rescue expedition. But where do they begin their search? The original SOS message written in three languages is partially destroyed by sea water. The remaining fragments can be interpreted several ways. Only one clue is certain, Captain Grant is somewhere along the 37th parallel. Racing against time, risking their lives, the brave adventurers are determined to find and save the shipwrecked captain.
