The book: The Lighthouse at the End of the World is one of Jules Verne’s posthumously published works, first appearing in 1905 in France (Le Phare du bout du monde). This English edition, issued by Sampson Low, Marston & Company, is among the scarcer later printings in illustrated cloth. Set on Staten Island, off Cape Horn in Argentina, the story tells of three lighthouse keepers besieged by ruthless pirates. A classic tale of isolation, survival, and the eternal conflict between human courage and the forces of nature, it is a fine example of Verne’s enduring contribution to nautical adventure literature.

The author: Jules Verne (1828–1905) is celebrated as one of the founding figures of modern science fiction and adventure literature. Best known for his Voyages extraordinaires series—including Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Around the World in Eighty Days—Verne combined scientific imagination with gripping narrative. In The Lighthouse at the End of the World, written near the end of his life, he returned to themes of human ingenuity and endurance in the face of elemental danger.
