Summary

"The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras" by Jules Verne is a late 19th-century story where the brig "Forward" begins a journey to the polar regions with a crew led by the puzzling Captain K.Z., who some say is a dog, which looks at exploration, thrills, and what people can do. We learn about the "Forward" leaving Liverpool, the crew led by Richard Shandon, all while Dr. Clawbonny is excited to learn - their destination is kept secret, and their captain is a mystery.

About the Author

Jules Gabriel Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages extraordinaires, a series of bestselling adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1872). His novels, always well-researched according to the scientific knowledge then available, are generally set in the second half of the 19th century, taking into account the technological advances of the time.
