1885 . New Zealand is hit by the gold rush. On ships arriving from Europe, fierce desertion reigns. Everyone wants to be rich at all costs.... Having lost half of the team, the captain of the English brig James Cook decides to go to extreme measures. He instructs the boss to urgently get the crew in the taverns and pubs of Dunedin, where idler pants sit, who always do not mind to earn extra money. The next volume of Jules Verne includes the novel “The Kip Brothers”, full of dangers and exotics of the South Seas. In his detective-piracy intrigue, based, by the way, on real events, one hears light echoes of the books of Dumas, Jacolio and even Dostoevsky. The publication also includes the famous burlesque escapade "The excitement of one Chinese in China" and the Peruvian drama "Martin Pass"
