The Fur Country is an adventure novel in The Extraordinary Voyages series. The story follows Lt. Jasper Hobson and other members of the Hudson's Bay Company as they travel through the Northwest Territories of Canada to Cape Bathurst on the Arctic Ocean on the mission to create a fort. An earthquake occurs and they eventually realize that they are on an iceberg that is drifting south. Jules Gabriel Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction. He was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the profession early to write for magazines and the stage. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages Extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including A Journey to the Interior of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days.
