Beschreibung zu „Abandoned“

It was now exactly seven months since the balloon voyagers had been thrown on Lincoln Island. During that time, notwithstanding the researches they had made, no human being had been discovered. No smoke even had betrayed the presence of man on the surface of the island. No vestiges of his handiwork showed that either at an early or at a late period had man lived there. Not only did it now appear to be uninhabited by any but themselves, but the colonists were compelled to believe that it never had been inhabited. And now, all this scaffolding of reasonings fell before a simple ball of metal, found in the body of an inoffensive rodent! In fact, this bullet must have issued from a firearm, and who but a human being could have used such a weapon?
When Pencroft had placed the bullet on the table, his companions looked at it with intense astonishment. All the consequences likely to result from this incident, notwithstanding its apparent insignificance, immediately took possession of their minds. The sudden apparition of a supernatural being could not have startled them more completely.

Über Jules Verne

JULES VERNE (1828–1905) wuchs in einer gutgestellten Rechtsanwaltsfamilie in der französischen Stadt Nantes auf, er war das erste von fünf Kindern. Sein Vater strebte für ihn eine Juristenkarriere an, doch schon der junge Jules fühlte sich unwiderstehlich zu zwei Leidenschaften hingezogen: dem Schreiben und dem wissenschaftlichen Erforschen von Zusammenhängen. Nach vielen schriftstellerischen Experimenten gelang ihm im Alter von 35 Jahren der geniale Coup, der seinen Weltruhm begründete: Er »erfand« ein völlig neues Genre der Literatur, den technik-basierten Abenteuerroman.
