Abandoned
(1909)
Translated by William Henry Giles Kingston
INTRODUCTION
The present romance, the second in the Mysterious Island triad, was
originally issued in Paris with the title of L'Abandonné. Jules
Verne's list of stories already ran then to some twenty volumes—a
number which has since grown to almost Dumasien proportions.
L'Abandonné, like its two companion tales, ran its course as a serial
through the Magasin Illustré of education and recreation, before its
issue as a boy's story-book. Its success in both forms seems to have
established a record in the race for popularity and a circulation in
both the French and English fields of current literature.
