Summary "Robinson-koulu: Seikkailuromaani Tyyneltämereltä" by Jules Verne is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the sale of a remote island in the Pacific Ocean, where various characters, including wealthy bidders like William W. Kolderup and J.R. Taskinar, engage in a dramatic auction. This humorous yet adventurous premise sets the stage for a deeper exploration of themes related to isolation, wealth, and the human spirit. The opening of the novel presents a lively auction scene in San Francisco, where the auctioneer tries to sell a Pacific island, Spencer Island, for a staggering price of $1,100,000. Despite the outrageous asking price and the skepticism from the crowd, the wealthy Kolderup boldly places a bid, leading to a fierce bidding war with Taskinar. As the excitement builds, readers are introduced to the characters’ personalities and backgrounds, notably Kolderup’s immense wealth and Taskinar’s jealousy, hinting at ensuing conflicts and challenges associated with the island and its ownership. This introductory portion establishes a humorous tone while foreshadowing the thrilling adventures that await the characters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
