The Adventures of Captain Hatteras is the most underrated Jules Verne novel and is one of my favorite books of all time. It explores human nature's thirst for discoveries, hardships of an extreme polar expedition and importance of social interaction. Characters descriptions are rich and multidimensional. It has much suspense and mystery to keep the reader interested. The end is not one of those forced "everything turned out great" but rather makes us contemplate our own lives.
Has anyone else read this novel? If you have, what did you think about it?
