I was a 15-year-old captain candidate. At that time, the seas seemed very big, the distances seemed very far, it was difficult to even imagine the port cities in distant lands that we now talk about as if we were talking about the neighborhood in our neighborhood. I wish I had the chance to read this book then. It is a gripping children's novel, but I am sure that adults will enjoy it too. . A journey that starts from Australia unintentionally ends in Angola, the busiest point of the slave trade of the period, and things get a little complicated here. Although the book is small in terms of content, it is adorned with some ship and navigation information, maritime culture, ship management, meteorology, oceanography and geography, and was written by a master like Jules Verne, who was also a sea and maritime lover. In my opinion, it is a good read that cannot be beat during a short trip.
