The Mysterious Island - Pulau Misterius

The blend of science, adventure, and imagination feels so ahead of its time. I'm curious what sparked Verne's fascination with exploration and invention.

Verne's detailed descriptions add depth, but I found myself wishing for more action at times. Was this balance intentional or just a product of the era's style?

The characters' inventive solutions are inspiring, but I wonder if modern readers connect more with the survival aspects or the scientific curiosity.
