The Lost Island: A Tale Of Castaways

With the rise of online reading mediums like Mediazenn, reading has become really easy in the modern era. With such innovative mediums coming up every single day, people cannot decide upon what book to read. When you face such a situation, always go with a mystery novel.


One of the best mystery novels till date is The Lost Island by Jules Verne. It is an exciting tale of mystery and adventure as a group of castaways struggle to overcome the elements and survive on an uncharted island. This novel was written by Jules Verne in 1874.

In March 1865, during the final days of the American Civil War, five prisoners who are held captive in Richmond plan a daring escape in a hot air balloon during a terrible storm. They are carried by the storm's winds for 4 long days and the balloon crashes near an island in the South Pacific.

They get stranded on this island with nothing but their clothes. But luckily for them, the island is full of the natural resources they require for survival. They name the island after president Lincoln and make it their home till they find a way to get out of there. The castaways also start considering themselves as colonists who have claimed the island for the United States and will return it to them if they ever go back home.

As time goes on the castaways realize that there are some strange things happening on the island that are inexplicable. Most of these are considered to be the work of Providence and eventually they realize that they are not the only inhabitants of the island.
