About “Mathias Sandorf”

This 1885 adventure book by Jules Verne was first serialized in Le Temps in 1885. It employs devices familiar from his earlier novels: islands, cryptograms, surprise revelations of identity, technically advanced hardware, and a solitary figure bent on revenge. Verne planned it as the Mediterranean adventure of his Voyages extraordinaires series and dedicated it to the memory of Alexandre Dumas. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
