The Survivors of the Chancellor

Told through a passenger's diary, this Jules Verne adventure follows the crew and passengers of the sailing ship Chancellor as fire, shipwreck, and starvation drive them to desperate measures at sea. Suited to readers of survival narratives and classic nineteenth-century adventure fiction. (Note: the catalogue's "first published: 1999" is a reprint date; Verne's novel first appeared in 1875.)
