Are there any famous books about exploration at home and abroad?

The story of Captain Grant's children took place in 1864. Sir greiner Wan, a Scottish aristocrat, is the owner of the cruise ship Duncan. He obtained a document from the drifting objects at sea, from which he learned that Captain Grant, a Scottish navigator who was killed and disappeared at sea two years ago, was still alive, so he resolutely took the captain's daughter Mary and son Robert and others to drive his own cruise ship to find and rescue.

After they arrived in South America, they crossed the American continent and finally found that the captain was killed on the Australian coast. After they arrived in Australia by boat, they met Elton, the captain's original sailor, who was taken in by the pirate leader and crossed the Australian mainland. After being captured by the natives, he was in a desperate situation.

After they escaped, they decided to abandon Elton on the desolate island of tabor in the Pacific Ocean. Unexpectedly, they met Captain Grant on the island, so they successfully returned to Scotland together.

The book also describes people's adventures in nature, including earthquakes, hurricanes and wolves; Hundreds of cows fell into the mire together, and the raging flood turned the plain into an ocean; Some of them fled from trees hit by lightning and met crocodiles lurking in the water; It's really dangerous and exciting.

What is even more touching is that Captain Grant sacrificed himself in the Pacific Ocean to find an immigrant island for Scottish expatriates in order to oppose English slavery to Scotland, while Sir Granawan spared no effort to save his compatriots. They are brave, tenacious and fearless, which embodies Verne's progressive thought of opposing slavery and colonialism, and shows the noble quality and lofty humanitarian spirit of maintaining social justice.

This is a passionate and mysterious story. Is the mysterious drift bottle in the belly of the "balance fish" (an extremely fierce shark in the sea) found by Sir Griffin a distress letter from a wrecked ship or a limerick written by a sailor when he is bored? It is a letter! It is a distress letter written in English, French and German in three chapters. These three distress letters damaged by seawater aroused great exploration interest of navigators. They translated the clear words in the letter and then compiled them into a language. They filled in their own guesses and ideas in this distress letter. Yes, it is indeed a distress letter! This is Captain Grant's distress letter. He was arrested by Indians at 37. 1 1' north latitude. The witty Sir Griffin, the kind and gentle Lady Helen, the deep and steady Major Mike Nabbes, the careless but proficient geographer Baganel, and the two strong sons and daughters of Captain Grant: the determined and strong Miss Grant and the brave little Andrew Roble, Captain mengle, who is proficient in navigation, and the completely trustworthy old sailor Austin. They embarked on an adventure to rescue Captain Grant on the Duncan. ...

Evaluation of works

This is a fascinating story. I admire Verne's literary skills and rich knowledge. When you read this novel, it seems that you are already immersed in it, and you will feel excited or anxious about their every move. How brave and helpful they are ... a drift bottle found in the shark's stomach made them embark on this arduous adventure. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. What if you have experienced such a situation? Will you refuse: "Hey, it's all old stories. The writing paper has been eroded by the sea. Maybe everyone is dead. Why do you want to find a person whose life and death are uncertain? " I admit, if it were me, I wouldn't necessarily give up everything to embark on this journey for a complete stranger like these brave people. This is a kind of spirit.

Reflections on Captain Grant's Children: Long-distance Running, Perseverance and Life

During the summer vacation, I was lucky enough to read the famous trilogy written by jules verne, a famous French science fiction writer: Captain Grant's Children, Two Wan Li under the Sea, and The Mystery Island Part I-Captain Grant's Children.

This novel describes Sir grina Van, the owner of the Scottish cruise ship Duncan, at a leisurely opportunity, arriving at the rescue bottle sent by the Scottish navigator Harry Grant who disappeared in a maritime accident two years ago. He asked the British government to send a fleet to look for it. However, the British government has always been very discriminating against Scots, and even rejected Sir's request. Sir Griffin was very angry with this attitude of Britain, so he still organized a small travel team and personally led the team to complete the task of finding Captain Grant. He took Captain Grant's children, crossed the mountains and grasslands of South America at 37 degrees south latitude, crossed Australia and New Zealand, and circled the earth. Along the way, they experienced numerous difficulties and obstacles, and finally found Captain Grant on a desert island in the Pacific Ocean.

In the novel, the most awe-inspiring thing is Sir grina Van's unparalleled perseverance and courage to overcome difficulties. It is also the strong perseverance embodied in the article that shakes the readers' hearts.

"I insist that the green hills are not relaxed, and the roots are breaking the rocks. They are still tenacious after a lot of trials and tribulations, running around and going north and south. " What Zheng Banqiao, a famous painter in Qing Dynasty, said is enough to see the importance of perseverance for success.

The story in the novel gives me a deeper understanding of the word perseverance, which reminds me of the long-distance running champions standing on the playground and podium, and makes me pay a hundred times of respect to them. Maybe someone will ask: Why do you worship the champion of long-distance running? It's very simple, because in my eyes, they are not only champions of long-distance running, but also strong players in the arena of life, just like Sir grina Van in the novel!

In fact, our life is like a long-distance race, from which we can not only feel life, but also enjoy it.

Don't underestimate the first lap or two. Don't think it's so easy. It is related to your running speed in the future. This is just like the habit we formed when we were young. If it is good, we will benefit for life. If it is not good, we will regret it all our lives.

The middle laps are a bit difficult. Feet like lead, every step is a test of a person's perseverance and will, look forward several times. At this time, the people behind you gradually catch up with or surpass you. It's like a setback in our life. Many people are fragile, hiding in "safe havens" and "snail shells" and turning a blind eye to the world. No wonder some people say, "I have lived too much."

The hardest thing is the last few laps of life, that is, the sprint stage. At that time, people's problems exceeded the limit, and the only thing that supported them was their belief in winning. This enabled them, not only not to relax, but also to win the final victory with tenacious perseverance and amazing perseverance, becoming the pride of the people of the whole country!

Looking back, look at Sir Griffin and his party in the novel. In order to rescue Captain Grant, they marched on the vast sea and the stormy waves tested them. They completely ignored their own lives, fought with their lives and perseverance, and finally found the captain on a desert island.

This story has been handed down to this day, which is commendable.

Brief introduction of the author

The founder of French science fiction is jules verne (1828- 1905), who is recognized as the father of modern science fiction. He was born in a lawyer's family in the port city of Nantes. The vast ocean, raised sails and sirens gave birth to his beautiful fantasy of nature. He was naughty in middle school, but he got good grades. After graduation, he studied law according to his father's wishes, and obtained a bachelor's degree in law in Paris from 65438 to 0849. Verne was lucky enough to meet the explorer Jacques arago (1790-1855) in Paris, and had deep contacts with astronomers, physicists, geographers and other scientists who frequented his home. Under their influence, he assiduously studied mathematics, physics, chemistry, geography and other natural sciences, and at the same time read the popular detective novels of Poe at that time, so as to enrich his knowledge and improve his writing level.

Preface to Captain Grant's Children

Since ancient times, human beings have had the dream of going to heaven and going to earth. With the development of science and technology, literary works reflecting such dreams have formed science fiction. French science fiction has a long history, which can be traced back to rabelais's Biography of the Giant in the Renaissance, but most of the fantasies at that time came from folklore, and there was not much scientific basis.

17th century, sihano de Gyerak (16 19- 1655) published the country and empire on the moon (1657) and on the sun.

/kloc-in the autumn of 0/862, Verne wrote the manuscript of Five Weeks in a Balloon, which was greatly appreciated by the famous publisher hessel and immediately signed a long-term contract with him to publish science fiction. For the next forty years, Verne published one or two new works every year, and * * * published sixty-six novels and short stories, with the total name of "Strange Roaming in the Known and Unknown World".

From Journey to the Center of the Earth to Around the World in 80 Days, many of Verne's novels are household names, including Captain Grant's Children (1868), Two Wan Li under the Sea (1870) and Mysterious Island (1874).

Characteristics of works

Verne's novels are spectacular in scenery, thrilling in plot, ingenious and fascinating in conception, full of exotic flavor, and have the characteristics of science fiction and adventure novels. They not only embody the dream of human beings flying freely, but also have sufficient scientific basis, thus turning unique fantasies into scientific reasoning and prediction. Now not only the submarine has already become a reality, but also the dream of landing on the moon and flying in space has come true. Because of this, Verne's novels have always been fondle admiringly and have the largest number of readers in the world.

Lev tolstoy, a great Russian writer, even drew 13 illustrations for Around the World in 80 Days, which was once a much-told story in the literary world. Verne's works are wonderful and moving, and later generations speculate that he must have experienced rich experiences and adventures, calling him a legend. Some people say that when he was eleven years old, he left home to be a trainee sailor on a ship and was chased back by his father. Some people say that he had an affair since he was a child and was shot for it.

In fact, according to the research of American Herbert Lautmann, the author of jules verne Biography, these are unfounded legends. Verne's life is actually unremarkable. He has no desire for fame. He lived in other provinces for many years, only staying in the United States for a week and sitting in a balloon for 24 minutes. He cultivated an extraordinary imagination from an early age, read books and materials all the year round, and became a knowledgeable scholar. He was aggressive and studious, which were important reasons for his success. He has been writing all his life. When his health deteriorated in his later years, he persisted in writing until/kloc-0 died on March 24th, 905, leaving five typed novels. Verne's life is the most vivid portrayal of these two sentences: "greatness comes from the ordinary, and genius comes from diligence."
