Magellania by Jules Verne

Magellania by Jules Verne

Jules Verne penned Magellania in 1897, following the death of his brother and at a time when his own health was beginning to fail. Originally titled Land of Fire and At the End of the World, Magellania was intended to reflect Verne's deeply held religious and political beliefs as well as examine his own mortality.

“Verne sketches out theories of politics and self-government in [his]. . portrayal of a man seeking the last unsettled corner of the earth.”—Publishers Weekly
