The Castaways of the Flag by Jules Verne

Author: Jules Verne | Published: 1900

The Castaways of the Flag Synopsis

The Castaways of the Flag, also known as Second Fatherland (French: Seconde patrie), is a novel by Jules Verne, first published in 1900. The novel is a sequel to the 1812 book The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann Wyss.

The story follows the adventures of a group of castaways who are stranded on an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean. The castaways are determined to survive on the island and quickly learn how to find food, build shelter, and defend themselves from wild animals. They also learn to live in harmony with the island's natural environment. The castaways eventually built a thriving community on the island, and they named it New Switzerland.

Excerpt from The Castaways of the Flag Online Book

Night—a pitch-dark night! It was almost impossible to distinguish sky from sea. From the sky, laden with clouds low and heavy, deformed and tattered, lightning flashed every now and then, followed by muffled rolls of thunder. At these flashes the horizon lit up for a moment and showed deserted and melancholy.

No wave broke in foam upon the surface of the sea. There was nothing but the regular and monotonous rolling of the swell and the gleam of ripples under the lightning flashes. Not a breath moved across the vast plain of ocean, not even the hot breath of the storm.

About Jules Verne

Jules Verne, born on February 8, 1828, in Nantes, France, was a renowned French author who laid the foundation for modern science fiction. He is often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction." Verne's works, characterized by their imaginative and visionary storytelling, have significantly impacted literature and popular culture.

His passion for adventure and exploration shaped Verne's early life. His father, a prosperous lawyer, encouraged him to study law, but Jules preferred writing and literature. Despite his father's disapproval, Verne pursued his literary interests, writing plays and short stories. In 1863, Verne published his breakthrough novel, "Five Weeks in a Balloon," which marked the beginning of his exploration-themed novels. His works were heavily influenced by the rapid scientific advancements of the 19th century, incorporating emerging technologies like submarines, space travel, and time machines.
