| Summary | "In Search of the Castaways; Or, The Children of Captain Grant" by Jules Verne is a novel written during the mid-19th century. This work, part of a series that includes "The Mysterious Island" and "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," follows Lord Edward Glenarvan and his companions as they embark on a daring quest to rescue Captain Grant, who has been shipwrecked somewhere on the southern coast of South America. The story combines adventure, exploration, and geographical detail, offering readers both excitement and information about lesser-known regions of the globe. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Lord Glenarvan, who is aboard his yacht, the Duncan, along with his wife, Lady Helena, and a few crew members. During their trial trip, they catch a large shark, which leads to the discovery of a bottle in its stomach containing documents that hint at the fate of Captain Grant and his two sailors. The documents are written in English, French, and German, and suggest that they are stranded in Patagonia, seeking rescue. This revelation propels Glenarvan and his crew into an international adventure, as they rally to save the lost men, setting the stage for their perilous journey across uncharted territories.
