The Mysterious Island
The Mysterious Island () 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" begins during the American Civil War, yet is supposed to happen some years "after" "Twenty Thousand Leagues".
