Le phare du bout du monde

Un phare se dresse sur l'une des îles désolées qui prolongent, au large du cap Horn, l'extrême pointe de l'Amérique du Sud. Dans ce phare, deux gardiens. Pour les deux hommes, les plus mortels ennemis ne sont ni l'ouragan ni les brouillards, pourtant redoutables sur cette terre hostile, mais bien de sinistres pirates qui ont choisi l'île pour y cacher leur butin...

Jules Gabriel Verne was a French author who pioneered the genre of science-fiction. He is best known for his novels Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).
Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before navigable aircraft and practical submarines were invented, and before any means of space travel had been devised. He is the third most translated author of all time, behind Disney Productions and Agatha Christie. His prominent novels have been made into films. Verne, along with H. G. Wells, is often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction".
