The Blockade Runners : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Blockade Runners "The Blockade Runners" ((フランス語:Les forceurs de blocus)) is a 1865 short story by Jules Verne.〔("The blockade runners" ), full text in English〕 In 1871 it was published in single volume together with novel ''A Floating City'' as a part of the ''Voyages Extraordinaires'' series (''The Extraordinary Voyages''). An English translation was published in 1874. ==Plot introduction== The American Civil War plot centers on the exploits of a British merchant captain named James Playfair who must break the Union blockade of Charleston harbor in South Carolina to trade supplies for cotton and, later in the book, to rescue Halliburtt, the abolitionist journalist father of a young girl held prisoner by the Confederates. Verne's tale was inspired by reality as many ships were actually lost while acting as blockade runners in and around Charleston in the early 1860s.
