Explorers in a hot-air balloon land on an island, figuring that they must be the only inhabitants. However, they discover a bullet inside a wounded animal--one which must have been fired within the previous three months. The men propose to build a canoe so they can survey the island in search of other human life. Many adventures follow, one after another. They find a large chest filled with provisions and tools. Setting off in search of who might have left the chest, the travelers make their way through the Mercy River to the sea. During their trek, the men find remnants of the balloon they arrived in. Back at camp (Granite House) they find their ladder to the house has been removed--by invading orangutans. Soon the animals are defeated, except for one, whom they tame to become a house servant. The men construct a bridge over the river. They protect their abode by surrounding it on all sides with water. They undertake projects to make their colony habitable and comfortable. They create a hydraulic lift to replace the ladder. They build a seagoing boat for further exploration. Eventually they discover another human on Tabor Island, bringing him back to their now-well-stocked colony. (Bill Boerst) In other translations this book is part of "The Mysterious Island"Show book

But one thing they agree on: once you cross Dan Barry there are only two things left to do—buy your wife widow's weeds and order a pine box that fits your measurements.Show book
Gustav Meyrink was born in Vienna on the 19th January, 1868. As a young man he co-founded a bank in Prague, but a personal crisis and a suicide attempt turned his life away from commerce to a study of the occult and a career in literature. His early short stories, supernatural, occult and weird, are full of promise, menace and the unusual. In 1915 he published his landmark novel ‘Der Golem’ and followed these with others which, whilst noted, failed to achieve the extraordinary heights of the first. Meyrink was also a prolific and gifted translator of the works of Dickens and others into German. After studying Theosophy, Kabbala and other religions he made, in 1927, a late conversion to Buddhism. Gustav Meyrink died in Starnberg, Germany on the 4th December 1932. He was 64.Show book
