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."

There was a large audience assembled on the 14th of January, 1862, at the session of the Royal Geographical Society, No. 3 Waterloo Place, London. The president, Sir Francis M -, made an important communication to his colleagues, in an address that was frequently interrupted by applause. This rare specimen of eloquence terminated with the following sonorous phrases bubbling over with patriotism: "England has always marched at the head of nations" (for, the reader will observe, the nations always march at the head of each other), "by the intrepidity of her explorers in the line of geographical discovery." (General assent). "Dr. Samuel Ferguson, one of her most glorious sons, will not reflect discredit on his origin." ("No, indeed!" from all parts of the hall.)
