[Machine Translation] Fifteen boys, ranging in age from 8 to 14, are on vacation on what is supposed to be a fun six-week sailing trip. But a raging storm blows their sailing ship, the Surgi, into the middle of the Pacific Ocean for two weeks. The mast was broken and the sails were torn off. Still, the boys take the helm and fight the heavy seas. In the morning, as the sky began to whiten, one of them suddenly shouted, "We're on land! We're on land," one of them shouted. They had drifted ashore on an uninhabited island. They must work together to survive. They explored the island many times, naming places, building rafts and homes. They fished and hunted, chose leaders, overcame conflicts, and helped each other. One day, however, something unexpected happened... A masterpiece of adventure fiction, a bloodthirsty and exciting story that has been read in France, England, and many other countries around the world.
