I first read this book about 50 years ago, and I enjoyed it as much now as I did then. I couldn't have realized at that time, that I was  reading a precursor to MacGyver, Lost, Lassie, and countless other books, movies and TV shows. Jules Verne was a genius, and his writing style was absolutely delightful. Unfortunately a book worded thus today would realize only the sale of about ten copies. (I tried to imitate his style. It didn't work.)
