The Mysterious Island

To an inquisitive reader, old Lithuanian literature should resemble The Mysterious Island by Julės Verne. Having wandered through the civil turmoils of the recent decade into this so far unheard-of land, one finds not only inhabitable locations and known forms of life, but also the wise master of these places, a peculiar Captain Nemo. Observing his guest at the beginning and helping to tame natūrai and human elements later, this Cap-tain Nemo reveals a multitude of wonderful things to the newcomer. Eventually the guest notices that his or her world outlook has substantially changed: it has grown, deepened, and acquired new colours, sounds, and sensations.
