I really like that story and how the stranded survivors manage their lifes and the how the whole group evolves.
The interesting thing about Verne is that the overwhelming majority of his books were what you might call "travelogues" - people having adventures in exotic locations. Today we remember him primarily as a science fiction author, but really his science fiction stories were nothing more than an extension of the travel idea, set in even more exotic locations, such as submarines and moon rockets.
