What if one day you learn that somewhere on a deserted island enormous riches are hidden? Just such a stroke of luck falls to Uncle Antifer—a brave retired sailor with a thirst for adventure.
In 1831, a wealthy Egyptian, Kamilk-Pasha, reliably stowed away his treasures, and only 31 years later did an opportunity arise to find them. Without wasting any time, Uncle Antifer assembles a crew: a loyal friend, a beloved nephew… and also a cunning banker and a couple of suspicious types, clearly plotting something not good.
The journey promises to be anything but dull: the heroes will travel the world, solve riddles, get into trouble, and learn to trust one another. A thrilling novel by Jules Verne, with everything it takes— the excitement of the search, the spirit of wandering, and a pinch of healthy dash of adventure!
