The Mysterious Island
Wesleyan launches its "Early Classics of Science Fiction" line  in style with this first English translation of Verne's 1904  novel Invasion of the Sea. The series will feature scholarly  editions of popular sf works, with illustrations,  bibliographies, textual notes, etc. Though long available in  English, The Mysterious Island here receives a new and much more  spry and exciting translation to replace the drab version that  has been boring readers for years. This also features  illustrations and an introduction by Caleb Carr.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
