Verne eventually wrote 40 novels in his Voyages extraordinaires series. "What one man can imagine, another will someday be able to achieve." Is a quote from an article in the Encyclopedia Britannica that sums up Verne so well. Dick Sand, A Captain at Fifteen is a Jules Verne novel published in 1878. The subject deals with the issue of slavery, and the African slave trade by other Africans in particular. Dick Sand must assume command of a ship after the disappearance of its captain. He is forced to mature very quickly.
