Name: Ο δεκαπενταετής πλοίαρχος
Author: Jules Verne

A teenage crew member assumes command of a small whaling vessel after a crisis and must lead a scattering of passengers and sailors through dangerous seas, scarce provisions, and internal betrayal. After shipboard disaster, survivors are driven ashore and undertake a grueling overland journey across hostile terrain where illness, violence, and the depredations of slave traffickers threaten them. The narrative blends precise maritime detail with tense landward adventure, tracing tests of leadership, endurance, and moral choice as the young captain strives to safeguard his companions and reach a place of refuge.
