About the Book

En 1859-1860, à l'extrême sud de l'Amérique du Sud, afin d'éviter un naufrage aux voiliers qui passent par là, le gouvernement argentin fait construire un phare appelé "Le Phare du bout du monde" sur l'île des États, située à l'est de la Terre de Feu, là où le Pacifique et l'Atlantique se rencontrent. Trois gardiens sont chargés de veiller au bon fonctionnement de ce phare, construit sur une terre inhabitée et inhospitalière. Les trois gardiens ignorent cependant qu'une bande de pirates, menés par Kongre et son bras-droit Carcante, sévissent sur cette île et pillent les navires qui s'y échouent, n'hésitant pas à en massacrer l'équipage. Deux des gardiens sont assassinés par les pirates et le troisième, le vieux Vasquez, s'enfuit et recueille un naufragé américain, John Davis. Ensemble, ils vont tenter d'empêcher les pirates de quitter l'île en attendant l'arrivée du navire militaire Santa-Fé.
About the Author: Jules Verne, né le 8 février 1828 à Nantes en France et mort le 24 mars 1905 à Amiens en France, est un écrivain français dont l'oeuvre est, pour la plus grande partie, constituée de romans d'aventures et de science-fiction (ou d'anticipation). En 1863 paraît chez l'éditeur Pierre-Jules Hetzel (1814-1886) son premier roman Cinq semaines en ballon, qui connaît un immense succès y compris à l'étranger. Lié à l'éditeur par un contrat de vingt ans, Jules Verne travaillera en fait pendant quarante ans à ses Voyages extraordinaires, qui compteront 62 romans et 18 nouvelles et paraîtront pour une partie d'entre eux dans le Magasin d'éducation et de récréation destiné à la jeunesse. Richement documentés, les romans de Jules Verne se situent aussi bien dans le présent technologique de la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle (Les Enfants du capitaine Grant (1868), Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours (1873), Michel Strogoff (1876), L'Étoile du sud (1884), etc.) que dans un monde imaginaire (De la Terre à la Lune (1865), Vingt mille lieues sous les mers (1870), Robur le conquérant (1886), etc.) L'oeuvre de Jules Verne est populaire dans le monde entier et, selon l'Index Translationum, avec un total de 4 702 traductions, il vient au deuxième rang des auteurs les plus traduits en langue étrangère après Agatha Christie. Il est ainsi en 2011 l'auteur de langue française le plus traduit dans le monde. L'année 2005 a été déclarée année Jules Verne, à l'occasion du centenaire de la mort de l'auteur
