Los hijos del capitan Grant (Les enfants du Capitaine Grant) es una novela "geografica" del escritor Julio Verne. Publicada en la Magazin de ilustracion y recreo (Magasin d'Education et de Recreation) de Hetzel desde el 20 de diciembre de 1865 (volumen 4, numero 43) hasta el 5 de diciembre de 1867 (volumen 8, numero 90), y de manera integra como volumen triple el 23 de junio de 1868. Adelantandose a su tiempo y utilizando el tema clasico del naufrago, Verne expone la vision de los que sufren la desaparicion, y expone el sentir de dos jovenes por la ausencia de su padre y la desesperacion de no volver a verlo; es una telemaquia (vease Telemaco). Su estructura, como la de "Viaje al centro de la Tierra," gira en torno al desciframiento de un documento que dara origen al viaje."

In 1878 appeared Dick Sands, the epic of the slave trade. This picture of the wilds of Africa, its adventures and its dangers, the savage hunting both of beasts and men, has always been a favorite among Verne's readers.It contains no marvels, no inventions, but merely, amid stirring scenes and actions seeks to convey two truthful impressions. One is the traveler's teaching the geographical information, the picture of Africa as explorers, botanists, and zoologists have found it. The other is the moral lesson of the awful curse of slavery, its brutalizing, horrible influence upon all who come in touch with it, and the absolutely devastating effect it has had upon Africa itself.

Set against the backdrop of 17th-century France during the Fronde, the story follows d'Artagnan and his fellow musketeers as they navigate a landscape filled with political intrigue and conflict. Themes of loyalty, friendship, and honor are central as d'Artagnan, now a lieutenant, reunites with Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. Their adventures involve conspiracies and battles, showcasing a blend of swashbuckling action and complex character dynamics, solidifying its place as a classic in adventure and historical fiction.
