The Fur Country by Jules Vernes - Classic Verne in the Arctic Circle

On the evening of the 17th March 1859 Captain Craventy gave a fete at Fort Reliance. Our readers must not at once imagine a grand entertainment such as a court ball or a musical soiree with a fine orchestra. Captain Craventys reception was a very simple affair yet he had spared no pains to give it eclat.

Classic Verne in the Arctic Circle
I bought this book last fall, and after a month or two it finally arrived from England. It was worth the wait. Excellent. The story is captivating and the characters are memorable. The environmental issues cannot go unnoticed, nor can the allusions to Noah's Ark. Verne takes some shots at the fur industry of North America during the mid-1800s. He criticizes their endless and mindless killing of animals just for the purpose of making a buck. The story also demonstrates the will of man and the power of faith in God when facing seemingly insurmountable odds.
