"L'île à hélice" by Jules Verne is a science fiction novel published in 1895. When a French string quartet is diverted to Standard Island, they discover an enormous man-made island sailing the Pacific Ocean, inhabited entirely by millionaires. This floating paradise seems idyllic, but the island is divided between two powerful factions—the Larboardites and the Starboardites—whose rivalry threatens to tear the island apart. As the quartet performs for the wealthy residents, political
tensions escalate toward a crisis that could destroy the island itself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
