这部带有神秘色彩的小说，似乎宣扬了上帝的法力无边和善恶有报的思想，实则是作者本人对贪欲的鞭笞与警告。小说刻画了一帮穷凶极恶的遗产承继人的丑恶形象，惟妙惟肖地描绘出他们如何为得到遗产而盼望叔父去世，如何在病人垂危之际迫不及待地抢夺甚至偷盗财物，而且为了安心享用偷盗来的钱财，不惜以种种卑鄙的手段迫害一个纯洁无辜的孤女。和《人间喜剧》中绝大部分故事不同，这个故事的结尾是好人得福，坏人受惩并转变。虽然这种结局在现实生活中并不多见，却充分阐发了作者以宗教观念遏制人类堕落倾向的主张。作者认为利欲之心导致种种恶行和犯罪，惟有建立对神的敬畏才能改善人们的道德面貌，使社会上减少恶行，增加善举。

In this book, he tells us how the decision was formed. He bases his conclusions on a direct and literal interpretation of the teachings of Jesus as expressed in the Sermon on the Mount.

An Antarctic Mystery (French: Le Sphinx des glaces, The Sphinx of the Ice Fields) is a two-volume novel by Jules Verne. Written in 1897, it is a response to Edgar Allan Poe's 1838 novel The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. It follows the adventures of the narrator and his journey from the Kerguelen Islands aboard Halbrane. Neither Poe nor Verne had actually visited the remote Kerguelen Islands, located in the south Indian Ocean, but their works are some of the few literary (as opposed to exploratory) references to the archipelago.
