Features: Jules Verne wrote many works, but the most famous are undoubtedly his trilogy "Around the World in Eighty Days," "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," and "The Mysterious Island." This time, we have adapted these three classic science fiction novels into picture books, introducing them to young readers in the form of "cultural fast food," allowing them to understand the master of science fiction in the shortest possible time. Let us follow Verne's fresh and fluent writing and the design of dramatic plots into his romantic yet scientifically grounded fantasy world, to experience the feeling of crossing the threshold of time and stepping into the future world in advance!
Content of the Book: The story takes place during the American Civil War. A hydrogen balloon drifts high in the vast Pacific Ocean. But don't think it's someone seeking thrills—consider the terrifying storms of 1865, and you'll understand their current situation. The five people in the balloon are surrounded by thick fog, unable to determine their direction. Their only option is to desperately throw weapons, ammunition, and even food into the sea as the balloon descends. Another night passed in fear, and the storm gradually subsided, the fog slowly dissipating. Just as the poor people were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they shockingly discovered that due to the leakage of hydrogen, the hot air balloon was gradually deflating, changing from round to oval. Although they were all brave and clever people, they had nothing left to throw, not even a small coin. The deflated balloon slowly descended toward the boundless Pacific Ocean.
