About this book
Jules Verne plunges readers into the frozen, wind-battered world of a remote Arctic fur-trading post where human ambition collides with nature’s extremes. Rich with his trademark blend of scientific curiosity and pulse-quickening adventure, the novel follows a small group's struggles, discoveries, and tensions as they confront isolation, shifting ice, and the eerie grandeur of the polar night. Evocative and suspenseful, it reads as both a vivid chronicle of 19th-century exploration and a timeless meditation on endurance, camaraderie, and the unpredictable power of the polar frontier.
