Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Works of Jules Verne, Vol. 14: Robur the Conqueror; The Master of the World; The Sphinx of Ice
The Sphinx of Ice, the third story in the present vol ume, was published in 1897. Its interest to Americans is much enhanced by the fact that it builds itself upon, is in fact a sequel to, our own Edgar Allan Poe's celebrated tale The Narrative of A. Gordon Pym. In the present issue for Americans the retelling of Poe's tale and the earlier pages of aimless wandering from one Antarctic island to another, have been considerably abridged.
