The Fur Country
Jules Verne
Book Overview:
Officers of the Hudson’s Bay Company are given the mission to find a fort at 70 degrees north of the polar circle. At some point, an earthquake occurs, and from then on, laws of physics seem altered (a total eclipse happens to be only partial; tides are not perceived anymore). They eventually realize that they are not where they are supposed to be.

Norman, unable to leave the helm, and the halliards being entangled at the top of the mast, could not take in the sail. Every moment the boat threatened to capsize, and heavy seas broke over its sides. The sky became blacker and blacker, cold rain mingled with snow fell in torrents, whilst the squall redoubled its fury, lashing the crests of the waves into foam.
“Cut it! cut it!” screamed Norman above the roaring of the storm.
The Lieutenant, his cap blown away and his eyes blinded by the spray, seized Norman’s knife and cut the halliard like a harp-string; but the wet cordage no longer acted in the grooves of the pulleys, and the yard remained atta. . . Read More

When I was younger, I was a Jules Verne junkie. I read most of my library system's rather extensive collection of Verne's works and loved most of them (I still consider Mysterious Island to be half the reason (with Lord of the Rings) that I grew to love reading).

Y digo diferente porque es completamente diferente, aunque ambas conservan el mismo sabor (que no sé si es original o no porque ambas son traducciones, pero sí son equivalentes excepto en el poema esquimal, que en la edici
