Summary "Abandoned" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. This engaging tale is set in the context of adventure and survival, focusing on a group of castaways stranded on Lincoln Island after a balloon accident. Central characters such as Cyrus Harding, Neb, Herbert, and Pencroft navigate their isolation while discovering signs of previous human presence on the island, igniting their curiosity and caution. The opening of "Abandoned" introduces readers to the settlers seven months after their unexpected arrival on Lincoln Island. They discover a bullet found inside a rodent, leading to a captivating discussion about the possibility of other humans being on the island. Intrigued and anxious, they decide to build a canoe for exploration. Concurrently, a turtle they try to capture mysteriously disappears, further deepening the mystery surrounding the island’s past. As they prepare for their canoe trip, the settlers reflect on their own survival and the potential dangers from whatever other inhabitants might still be lurking nearby.
