The Mysterious Island
''The Mysterious Island'' (french: L'Île mystérieuse) is a novel by Jules Verne, published in 1875. The original edition, published by Hetzel, contains a number of illustrations by Jules Férat. 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'' (French: ''L'École des Robinsons'', 1882). The chronology of ''The Mysterious Island'' is completely incompatible with that of the original ''Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea'', whose plot begins in 1866, while ''The Mysterious Island ...

Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
