Lighthouse at the End of the World: The First English Translation of Verne's Original Manuscript by Jules Verne
3.0
Book Riot Read Harder Challenge 2018 Task 1: A book published posthumously
Book Riot Read Harder Challenge 2018 Task 19: A book of genre fiction in translation.
Kind of a slow, dry start but concluded in a tense, thriller fashion. A tale of 19th-century pirates and those left to defend the "lighthouse a the end of the world."
As you read it, it is clear why it was not published while Verne lived as it was not complete. This edition has many explanatory footnotes and an informative introduction.
