| Summary |
"Kapteeni Grantin löytyminen" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the quest to find Captain Grant, who has gone missing after a shipwreck, and features characters such as Lord Glenarvan, Mary Grant, and the resolute John Mangles. The journey takes them across treacherous waters, with tensions rising as they uncover dangers both natural and from merciless pirates. At the start of the narrative, we meet Lord Glenarvan and his companions, who face the dire situation of having lost all hope in their search for Captain Grant. The despair is palpable among the Scottish noblemen as they contemplate returning to Europe, but a glimmer of hope is reignited by Mary Grant, who urges them to continue their quest. John Mangles, deeply dedicated to the cause, vows to pursue the search, leading to a decision to sail aboard the Macquarie to New Zealand, despite the unwelcoming nature of its seas and inhabitants. The opening sets the stage with a palpable sense of urgency, determination, and an underlying tension as they navigate a world filled with both beauty and danger, foreshadowing the challenges they will face on their perilous journey.
