A deathbed confidence sends the two searching for a fabulous gold-filled volcano on the shore of the Arctic Ocean. But nature, both human and physical, hasn't finished with them, and their story plays out with the nail-biting adventure of an action thriller and the moral and emotional force of high drama. Like many of the works left unpublished when Jules Verne died, \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Volcano\u003c\/i\u003e was altered and edited by his son, Michel. This first translation from the original manuscript allows readers of English to rediscover the pleasures of Verne's storytelling in its original form--and to enjoy a virtually unknown gem of action, adventure, and style from a master of French literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJules Verne (1828-1905), the most translated author in the world, wrote \u003ci\u003eThe Meteor Hunt\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLighthouse at the End of the World\u003c\/i\u003e, both available in Bison Books editions.
