Representaion To Books 15 Yaşında Bir Kaptan
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.

Written in 1878. 15 years after his first novel. What change 15 years can make. This is the story of a young boy who finds himself responsible for the lives of people castaways and duped to crash on the coast of Western Africa at the time slavery was still active in few places (mostly Spanish colonies). The isms that were so glaring in Verne's first book are almost gone in this tale of loyalty, courage, bravery and faith in life. A solid 3.5 stars.I've read a few of Jules Verne's books as a child. They are, or at least were, pretty much a given for any French child to read. While I quite enjoyed most of those I read, the opinions of the time are very notable in Verne's books, and the discriminatory views regarding certain groups, Africans in particular, are nowhere more prominent than in this book, at least among those books of his I read. While the story has an interesting premise, the negative portrayal of any African tribe encountered

I read this first time when I was 12 or something like that and learned quite a lot from this book!I also got myself scared to death, so I learned some of my first techniques to deal with fear. A couple of things in this novel scared the daylights out of me. One of them was the way one of the villains in the book changed the course of the ship by sticking a magnet under the compass. For some reason, that got me truly scared -- to the point that I couldn't fall asleep!Because of this treachery
I really liked it expectedly as it's one of the classics and I cannot wait to read every book written by Jules!
