| Summary |
"Les enfants du capitaine Grant" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the search for Captain Grant, who has gone missing at sea, and is based on clues found in a message stored inside a bottle swallowed by a shark. The main characters include Lord Edward Glenarvan, Lady Helena, and the children of Captain Grant, Mary and Robert. The opening of the novel sets the stage aboard the yacht Duncan, owned by Lord Glenarvan, where the crew encounters a shark that has ingested a bottle containing important documents. As they fish the shark out of the water and retrieve the bottle, it becomes clear that it contains a plea for help in three languages, hinting at a ship's wreck and the fate of Captain Grant and his crew. The narrative introduces a sense of urgency and adventure, as Lord Glenarvan and his companions decipher the documents and prepare to embark on a journey to rescue the stranded mariners. The stage is set for a thrilling expedition filled with danger and discovery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
