Im März 1875 verlässt das Segelschiff Franklin unter seinem Kapitän John Branican den Hafen von San Diego in Kalifornien. Sein Ziel ist das indische Kalkutta, doch nach vielen Monaten gibt es von dem Schiff und dessen Mannschaft keinerlei Lebenszeichen mehr. Das Schiff gilt schließlich mit seiner Mannschaft als verloren. Die junge Frau des Kapitäns, die einundzwanzigjährige Dolly Branican, will das jedoch nicht hinnehmen. Sie hat in ihrem jungen Leben bereits Schweres durchgemacht. Ihr Sohn Wat starb bei einem Schiffsunglück und sie selbst ist dem Tode nahe. Die Hoffnung, dass ihr Mann noch am Leben ist, hält sie selbst noch am Leben. Sie lebt mehrere Jahre in geistiger Umnachtung und bringt ihren zweiten Sohn Godfrey zur Welt, von dem sie jedoch getrennt wird und von dessen Existenz sie nichts weiß. Mit dem Geld aus einer Erbschaft ihres Onkels finanziert sie mehrere Suchexpeditionen. Sie ist fest davon überzeugt ihren Mann John zu finden. Jules Verne (1828-1905) war ein französischer Schriftsteller.
Jules Verne (February 8, 1828- March 24, 1905) was a French writer. He was one of the first authors to write science fiction. He was born in the city of Nantes, France. His father was a lawyer, and at the beginning, Verne wanted to study law as well. When he was nineteen, he started writing long pieces of literature, but his father wanted him to earn money as a lawyer, not as a writer. In 1847, his father sent him to Paris to start studying law. In 1848, Jules Verne, on a visit home, fell in love, but the girl's parents did not want her to marry him. Verne was depressed when he heard that the girl had been married to someone else - a rich, older man. In his stories, Jules Verne often writes about women married to people they do not love. He returned to Paris to find it on the verge of revolution: the French Revolution of 1848 deposed the king, and Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte was elected as the first president of the Republic of France. Verne continued to study law until 1851, but all the time he was writing and meeting with other authors and artists. Finally, in 1852, he decided to give up being a lawyer, and become a full-time professional writer instead. His father was very unhappy with this decision, but Verne was stubborn and strong-minded, so he went ahead with his plans. Verne went to Paris to try to find success. At first, he did not find any fame. Over time, he became a fan of science, while becoming well-known for his writing. His love of science and writing led him to write stories and novels that are now called "science fiction". Many people say Jules Verne was the creator of the science fiction genre.
