Czarodziejski okręt (The Magic Ship) is a nautical robinsonade with science fiction elements for young readers written by Władysław Umiński and serialized in 1914.
The novel tells the story of a millionaire who spends her vacation on a deserted island and her husband who embarks on a quest to find her using the titular technologically-advanced ship.
[7] The novel has also been described as atypical for Umiński due to its "lightly ironic tone and complete absence of Polish themes", commonly found in his other works.
[1] The novel can also be categorized as science fiction because Umiński describes advanced, futuristic for his time wireless telegraphy with a range of 5,000 km, and what is effectively a radio, which he calls a "metatelephone".
[1] Another Polish scholar, Jadwiga Ruszała, highlighted the unusual variant of the robinsonade in this novel – the stay on the deserted island is usually the result of chance and perceived as something negative; however, in this story, it is a planned escape from civilization.
