    • До Северного пролива донесла акула кускомую весть о крушении корабля Британия и призыв несчастных моряков о помощи. Три неполные записки, найденные в утробе акулы, приводят яхту Дункан и ее смелую команду, решившую помочь, в блуждающее путешествие вокруг света. На борту яхты находятся и Мэри, и Роберт, дети шотландского капитана Гранта, который со своим кораблем Британия пропал где-то в неизвестных океанских просторах, где искал новую родину для голодающего народа своей страны. Мысли и догадки ведут детей к отцу по трудным путям, полным невзгод, опасностей и даже смерти. Вера обоих детей в конечный успех экспедиции непоколебима и передается их защитникам и друзьям до радостной встречи с капитаном Грантом. Эта книга стала одной из самых читаемых и популярных у Верна, в ней много географических, природоведческих и этнографических знаний о далеких странах, таких как Южная Америка, Австралия и Тихий океан, а также изображены настоящие маленькие герои, которые и сегодня являются образцом мужества и отваги.

      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.)
