The Secret Of The Island
Verne, Jules
Synopsis "The Secret Of The Island"
He was regularly met with Sarah's snobbish indifference, but he didn't care since he saw her as a commodity. In order to conduct a covert interview with Samuel, the mestizo accompanied him to the Chorillos Baths. Don Vegal, who was grieving the loss of his daughter Sarah, wandered aimlessly around Lima's streets. The large number of Indians, Zambos, and Chios that were walking the streets struck him as odd. These males, who often participated actively in the Amanca's sports, were now moving silently and with a single focus. Don Vegal had stopped considering Sarah in favour of Martin Paz. Taking the package, Gideon Spilett cracked it open. He brought a couple of the approximately 200 grains of a white powder it contained to his lips. Herbert has to be given this powder right away. After leaving Dakkar Grotto, Cyrus Harding and his friends took the route leading to the corral. All that was left of Granite House was a lone boulder that was thirty feet long by twenty feet wide and was only 10 feet from the river. No one from the ancient Lincoln Island colony was missing since they had promised to always live together. Neb was with his master, Ayrton was there willing to die for everyone, and Pencroft was more of a farmer than a sailor.
Jules Gabriel Verne, conocido en los países hispanohablantes como Julio Verne (Nantes, 8 de febrero de 1828-Amiens, 24 de marzo de 1905), fue un escritor, dramaturgo y poeta francés, célebre por sus novelas de aventuras y por su profunda influencia en el género literario de la ciencia ficción. Nacido en una familia burguesa, estudió para continuar los pasos de su padre, Pierre Verne, como abogado pero muy joven decidió abandonar ese camino para dedicarse a la literatura. Su colaboración con el editor Pierre-Jules Hetzel dio como fruto la creación de Viajes extraordinarios, una popular serie de novelas de aventuras escrupulosamente documentadas y visionarias entre las que se incluían las famosas De la Tierra a la Luna (1865), Veinte mil leguas de viaje submarino (1870), La vuelta al mundo en ochenta días (1872) o La isla misteriosa (1874). Ya antes había publicado Cinco semanas en globo (1863) y Viaje al centro de la Tierra (1864). Es uno de los escritores más importantes de Francia y de toda Europa gracias a la evidente influencia de sus libros en la literatura vanguardista y el surrealismo, y desde 1979 es el segundo autor más traducido en el mundo, después de Agatha Christie. Se le considera, junto a H. G. Wells, uno de los «padres de la ciencia ficción». Fue condecorado con la Legión de Honor en 1892 por sus aportes a la educación y a la ciencia.
