Jules Verne wrote his large popular science work “The History of Great Travels and Great Travelers” over the course of 16 years. It vividly and entertainingly describes the most significant travels, discoveries, events that gradually changed man's understanding of the geography of the world, erased blank spots on maps, promised riches and became causes of wars. The author covered the period from ancient times to the 40s of the 19th century. In his work, he was greatly assisted by the geographer, translator and librarian Gabriel Marcel. The third volume of the History, entitled “Travelers of the 19th Century,” tells about sea and land expeditions carried out at the turn of the century and in the first third of the 19th century. They erased white spots from the maps of Arabia and Central Africa, Brazil and North America, Central Asia and Mexico; brave travelers went to the southern polar continent and searched for the Northwest Passage.
