<The Mysterious Island> A novel by ?Jules Verne, published in ?1875. The original edition, published by ?Hetzel, contains a number of illustrations by ?Jules F?rat. The novel is a ?crossover ?sequel ?to Verne's famous ?Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas(1870) and ?In Search of the Castaways(1867?68), though its themes are vastly different from those books. An early draft of the novel, initially rejected by Verne's publisher and wholly reconceived before publication, was titled ?Shipwrecked Family: Marooned with Uncle Robinson, seen as indicating the influence of the novels ?Robinson Crusoe?and ?The Swiss Family Robinson. Verne developed a similar theme in his later novel,?Godfrey Morgan.
