Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (Captain Nemo, #2)
Jules Verne
When an unidentified “monster” threatens international shipping, French oceanographer Pierre Aronnax and his unflappable assistant Conseil join an expedition organized by the US Navy to hunt down and destroy the menace. After months of fruitless searching, they finally grapple with their quarry, but Aronnax, Conseil, and the brash Canadian harpooner Ned Land are thrown overboard in the attack, only to find that the “monster” is actually a futuristic submarine, the Nautilus, commanded by a shadowy, mystical, preternaturally imposing man who calls himself Captain Nemo. Thus begins a journey of 20,000 leagues—nearly 50,000 miles—that will take Captain Nemo, his crew, and these three adventurers on a journey of discovery through undersea forests, coral graveyards, miles-deep trenches, and even the sunken ruins of Atlantis. Jules Verne’s novel of undersea exploration has been captivating readers ever since its first publication in 1870, and Frederick Paul Walter’s reader-friendly, scientifically meticulous translation of this visionary science fiction classic is complete and unabridged down to the smallest substantive detail.
Around the World in Eighty Days
Jules Verne
One night in the reform club, Phileas Fogg bets his companions that he can travel across the globe in just eighty days. Breaking the well-established routine of his daily life, he immediately sets off for Dover with his astonished valet Passepartout. Passing through exotic lands and dangerous locations, they seize whatever transportation is at hand—whether train or elephant—overcoming set-backs and always racing against the clock.

Five Weeks in a Balloon
Jules Verne
There was a large audience assembled on the 14th of January, 1862, at the session of the Royal Geographical Society, No. 3 Waterloo Place, London. The president, Sir Francis M -, made an important communication to his colleagues, in an address that was frequently interrupted by applause. This rare specimen of eloquence terminated with the following sonorous phrases bubbling over with patriotism: "England has always marched at the head of nations" (for, the reader will observe, the nations always march at the head of each other), "by the intrepidity of her explorers in the line of geographical discovery." (General assent). "Dr. Samuel Ferguson, one of her most glorious sons, will not reflect discredit on his origin." ("No, indeed!" from all parts of the hall.)
The Mysterious Island (Captain Nemo, #3)
Jules Verne
After hijacking a balloon from a Confederate camp, a band of five northern prisoners escapes the American Civil War. Seven thousand miles later, they drop from the clouds onto an uncharted volcanic island in the Pacific. Through teamwork, scientific knowledge, engineering, and perseverance, they endeavour to build a colony from scratch. But this island of abundant resources has its secrets. The castaways discover they are not alone. A shadowy, yet familiar, agent of their unfathomable fate is watching.
What unfolds in Jules Verne’s imaginative marvel is both an enthralling mystery and the ultimate in survivalist adventures.
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Jules Verne
An adventurous geology professor chances upon a manuscript in which a 16th-century explorer claims to have found a route to the earth's core. Professor Lidenbrock can't resist the opportunity to investigate, and with his nephew Axel, he sets off across Iceland in the company of Hans Bjelke, a native guide.
The expedition descends into an extinct volcano toward a sunless sea, where they encounter a subterranean world of luminous rocks, antediluvian forests, and fantastic marine life — a living past that holds the secrets to the origins of human existence.

Le Rayon vert
Jules Verne
Parfois, au moment de disparaître dans les flots, le soleil lance sur l'océan une ultime et brève fulgurance : ce fameux rayon vert qui, d'après une légende écossaise, confère à ceux dont il a frappé les yeux le pouvoir de voir clair dans les sentiments et les cours. Alors que ses deux oncles et tuteurs, Sam et Sib Melvill, se proposent de la marier à un jeune savant de leurs relations, Aristobulus Ursiclos, la jeune Helena Campbell émet le souhait de contempler le rayon vert. Comment lui refuser ce voyage, au cours duquel, espèrent-ils, elle se laissera convaincre d'accepter l'époux qu'on lui propose ? Ce qu'ils ne prévoient pas, c'est qu'un jeune artiste-peintre, Olivier Sinclair, va bouleverser tous leurs plans. Avec ce roman imprégné de ses souvenirs de voyage en Écosse, Jules Verne semble vouloir prendre ironiquement le contrepied du reste de son œuvre. Ici l'esprit positif et scientifique, incarné par l'ennuyeux et pédant Aristobulus, cède devant l'art, la rêverie, l'imagination poétique, dans une histoire d'amour contée en souriant.

Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours
Jules Verne
Cette version du livre contient une table des matières active ( HTML ), ce qui rendra votre lecture plus simple et plus agréable.Le roman raconte la course autour du monde d'un gentleman anglais, Phileas Fogg, qui a fait le pari d'y parvenir en 80 jours. Il est accompagné par Jean Passepartout, son serviteur français. L'ensemble du roman est un habile mélange entre récit de voyage (traditionnel pour Jules Verne) et données scientifiques comme celle utilisée pour le rebondissement de la chute du roman.Ce voyage extraordinaire est rendu possible grâce à la révolution des transports qui marque le xixe siècle et les débuts de la révolution industrielle. L'apparition de nouveaux modes de transport (chemin de fer, marine à vapeur) et l'ouverture du canal de Suez en 1869 raccourcissent les distances, ou du moins le temps nécessaire pour les parcourir.

Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the Mysterious Island
Jules Verne
Here in one binding are both of Jules Verne's Captain Nemo novels. In 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea we meet the enigmatic Captain Nemo and The Nautilus. Even after many adventures and much derring-do Nemo's secrets remain his own, and at the end of the novel we are left with many mysteries concering this mysterious and tragic man. In The Mysterious Island we once again encounter Captain Nemo. The years have mellowed him some, and he reveals his surprising secrets. Two wonderful sea adventures! 20,000 Leagues The the Sea The story begins when a mysterious sea monster, theorized by some to be a giant narwhal, is sighted by ships of several nations; an ocean liner is also damaged by the creature. The United States government assembles an expedition to track down and destroy the menace. Professor Pierre Aronnax is a noted French marine biologist and narrator of the story; as he happens to be in America at the time and is a recognized expert in his field, he is issued a last-minute invitation to join the expedition, and he accepts. Canadian master harpoonist Ned Land and Aronnax's faithful assistant Conseil are also brought along. The expedition sets sail and after much fruitless searching, the monster is found. The ship charges into battle. During the fight, the ship's steering is damaged, and the three protagonists are thrown overboard. They find themselves stranded on the hide of the creature, only to discover to their surprise that it is a large metal construct. They are quickly captured and brought inside the vessel, where they meet its enigmatic creator and commander, Captain Nemo. It is here the adventure truly begins! The Mysterious Island tells the exciting story of five Americans stranded on an uncharted island in the South Pacific. During the American Civil War, Richmond, Virginia was the capital of the Confederate States of America. Five northern prisoners of war decide to escape Richmond in a rather unusual way - by hijacking a balloon. After flying in stormy weather for several days, the group crash-lands on a unknown, cliff-bound, volcanic island. Ultimately, Captain Nemo plays an important role in the resolution of the story
Los Náufragos del Jonathan
Jules Verne
De la serie "Viajes extraordinarios", éste es acaso el episodio más insólito nacido de la pluma de Verne. Una novela que representa el aspecto "no juvenil de la literatura del escritor", y que nos da a conocer sus preocupaciones políticas y socializantes. En Los náufragos del Jonathan, Verne realiza un experimento ideal: observar las diferentes reacciones sociales de un pequeño grupo de náufragos en la isla de Tierra de Fuego. El anarquista Kaw-djer desea fundar allí una colonia socialista pero los distintos intereses y miserias que se barajan entre los náufragos convierten el sueño de esa sociedad sin clases en una absurda y desgarradora utopía.

En el transcurso del viaje los tripulantes se enfrentan a varias sorpresas: un barco naufragado y un accidente que obliga al gurmete Dick Sand -de tan sólo quince años- de tomar el mando de la nave con su limitada experiencia.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas: Annotated
Jules Verne
Jules Verne's classic science fiction novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, published in 1870, tells the story of the fictional Captain Nemo and his submarine, the Nautilus. It was serialised in Pierre-Jules Hetzel's Magasin d'éducation et de récréation and included 111 illustrations. The novel is widely acclaimed and is regarded as one of Verne's greatest works. Its depiction of the Nautilus was ahead of its time and was likely inspired by the French submarine Plongeur, which was at the 1867 Exposition Universelle.

An Antarctic Mystery: The Sphinx of the Ice Fields
Jules Verne
In the year 1839, Mr. Jeorling, whose geological and mineralogical research have led him to the Kerguelen sub-Antarctic archipelago in the Indian Ocean, sets sail on the "Halbrane", whose captain Len Guy is obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe's novel "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym". --- In that narrative, Poe recounts the adventures of Len Guy's brother William Guy who as captain of the "Jane" was persuaded by Arthur Gordon Pym to direct an expedition to the Antarctic. The "Jane" vanished on this voyage, though Pym was still able to pass along his diary to Edgar Allen Poe. --- Increasingly persuaded of the truthfulness of the tale, Mr. Jeorling encourages Captain Len Guy to pursue his brother - whom they believe may still be alive - into the Antarctic. --- Aside from the natural perils of the ocean, they must also face down a mutiny of the sailors on the "Halbrane".
The Master of the World
Jules Verne
If I speak of myself in this story, it is because I have been deeply involved in its startling events, events doubtless among the most extraordinary which this twentieth century will witness. Sometimes I even ask myself if all this has really happened, if its pictures dwell in truth in my memory, and not merely in my imagination. In my position as head inspector in the federal police department at Washington, urged on moreover by the desire, which has always been very strong in me, to investigate and understand everything which is mysterious, I naturally became much interested in these remarkable occurrences. And as I have been employed by the government in various important affairs and secret missions since I was a mere lad, it also happened very naturally that the head of my department placed In my charge this astonishing investigation, wherein I found myself wrestling with so many impenetrable mysteries.
Autour de la Lune
Jules Verne
Cet ouvrage, qui fait suite au célèbre roman De la Terre à la Lune, décrit les aventures des trois hommes : Nichon, Barbicane et Michel Ardan qui sont montés dans un obus tiré par un immense canon pour les envoyer vers la Lune. Ce roman s'est avéré étonnamment prémonitoire par rapport à la conquête de la Lune effectuée par les missions Apollo dans les années 1970.

De la Terre à la Lune
Jules Verne
A la fin de la guerre fédérale des états-Unis, les fanatiques artilleurs du Gun-Club (Club-Canon) de Baltimore sont bien désoeuvrés. Un beau jour, le président, Impey Barbicane, leur fait une proposition qui, le premier moment de stupeur passé, est accueillie avec un enthousiasme délirant. Il s'agit de se mettre en communication avec la Lune en lui envoyant un boulet, un énorme projectile qui serait lancé par un gigantesque canon ! Tandis que ce projet inouï est en voie d'exécution, un Parisien, Michel Ardan, un de ces originaux que le Créateur invente dans un moment de fantaisie, et dont il brise aussitôt le moule, télégraphie à Barbicane : « Remplacez obus sphérique par projectile cylindroconique. Partirai dedans »... Avec ses personnages parfaitement campés, son humour toujours présent, De la Terre à la Lune est une des grandes oeuvres de Jules Verne, une de ses plus audacieuses anticipations.

"In questo libro il "misterioso" Oriente e il "selvaggio" West emanano ancora i bagliori di un itinerario nel meraviglioso, ma la narrazione è una macchina modernissima, dal percorso già deciso, inscritto in un meccanismo perfetto. Al viaggio che è rischio, scoperta, mutamento, si contrappone - con uno sguardo profondo sul futuro - il viaggio che è calcolato sfruttamento del teatro di esperienze del mondo." (Gian Mario Villalta).
From the Earth to the Moon and 'Round the Moon
Jules Verne
This darkness... showed that the projectile has passed the atmospheric strata, for the diffused light spread in the air would have been reflected on the metal walls, which reflection was wanting. This light would have lit the window, and the window was dark. Doubt was no longer possible; the travelers had left the earth. "I have lost," said Nicholl. "I congratulate you," replied Ardan. "Here are the nine thousand dollars," said the captain, drawing a roll of paper dollars from his pocket. "Will you have a receipt for it?" asked Barbicane, taking the sum. "If you do not mind," answered Nicholl; "it is more business-like." This is the legendary novel of technological speculation and social satire that launched an entire genre of adventure fiction: Verne's From the Earth to the Moon and 'Round the Moon is the first story of space exploration and remains a beloved work of daring exploits-and surprisingly accurate scientific conjecture. When the members of the Baltimore Gun Club-bored Civil War veterans-decide to fill their time by embarking on a project to shoot themselves to the moon, the race is on to raise money, overcome engineering challenges, and convince detractors that they're anything but "Lunatics." With this work, Verne inspired the first science fiction film, 1902's Le Voyage dans la lune, and accurately predicted that that ideal location for a spacebase is in Florida. First published in France in 1865, this replica 1918 edition includes the sequel, 1870's Round the Moon. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Verne's Five Weeks in a Balloon OF INTEREST TO: science fiction fans, readers of 19th-century literature French author JULES GABRIEL VERNE (1828-1905) is considered the father of modern science fiction. Among his many groundbreaking books are Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1872).

De la Tierra a la Luna
Jules Verne
"De la Tierra a la Luna" es una novela científica y satírica del escritor Julio Verne. La obra, que comienza como una satira del estereotipo estadounidense de la época, es un intento de describir por primera vez con minuciosidad científica los problemas que hay que resolver para lograr enviar un objeto a la Luna. Un intrépido proyecto aviva los corazones de los miembros del Gun-Club. Se trata de enviar a la Luna un proyectil que, auxiliado por el monstruoso canon Columbiad, hará la función de una autentica nave espacial para hacer realidad en el siglo XIX un viejo sueno: atravesar el espacio y descubrir un mundo lunar hasta entonces en penumbras. Tanto esta novela como "Alrededor de la Luna" sorprenden por el numero de anticipaciones que presenta Julio Verne como el lugar del lanzamiento del proyectil, muy cercano al Cabo Cañaveral, lugar de lanzamiento de la NASA hoy en día.
Vinte Mil Léguas Submarinas

20.000 Leguas de Viaje Submarino
Jules Verne
When an unidentified “monster” threatens international shipping, French oceanographer Pierre Aronnax and his unflappable assistant Conseil join an expedition organized by the US Navy to hunt down and destroy the menace. After months of fruitless searching, they finally grapple with their quarry, but Aronnax, Conseil, and the brash Canadian harpooner Ned Land are thrown overboard in the attack, only to find that the “monster” is actually a futuristic submarine, the Nautilus, commanded by a shadowy, mystical, preternaturally imposing man who calls himself Captain Nemo. Thus begins a journey of 20,000 leagues—nearly 50,000 miles—that will take Captain Nemo, his crew, and these three adventurers on a journey of discovery through undersea forests, coral graveyards, miles-deep trenches, and even the sunken ruins of Atlantis. Jules Verne’s novel of undersea exploration has been captivating readers ever since its first publication in 1870, and Frederick Paul Walter’s reader-friendly, scientifically meticulous translation of this visionary science fiction classic is complete and unabridged down to the smallest substantive detail.
Viaggio al centro della terra
Jules Verne
In un vecchio manoscritto il professor Lidenbrock, geologo e mineralogista, scopre un testo cifrato in cui è scritto che attraverso il cratere dello Sneffels, vulcano estinto dell'Islanda, è possibile penetrare fino al centro della Terra! Folgorato dalla scoperta, Lidenbrock raggiunge la fredda isola dell'Islanda e intraprende l'avventurosa discesa nelle viscere del pianeta in compagnia del suo giovane nipote: cosa troveranno i nostri coraggiosi esploratori nelle misteriose profondità sotterranee? Nel racconto delle prodigiose avventure che si susseguiranno, la potente immaginazione di Jules Verne — già sperimentata in geniali anticipazioni di imprese astronautiche, di navigazioni sottomarine e di previsioni avveniristiche — raggiunge il vertice in un viaggio meraviglioso e fantastico nel cuore della natura.
The Blockade Runners
Jules Verne
"The Blockade Runners" (French: Les forceurs de blocus) is a 1865 short story by Jules Verne. 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.
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.
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.
Round the Moon
Jules Verne
In this sequel to From the Earth to the Moon, Barbicane, Ardan, and Nicholl have decided to take a trip around the moon. But first they have to get to the moon from Earth.

La aparición en el lugar del joven Franz de Telek, cuya prometida fue también pretendida y acosada por el barón antes de su inesperada muerte, pondrá en marcha una emocionante exploración llena de sobresaltos con el propósito de enfrentarse a los misterios del castillo encantado.
In the Year 2889
Jules Verne
Article purportedly by Jules Verne, but probably by his son. According to the editor's note at the beginning: "In the Year 2889_ was first published in the _Forum_, February, 1889; p. 262. It was published in France the next year. Although published under the name of Jules Verne, it is now believed to be chiefly if not entirely the work of Jules' son, Michel Verne. In any event, many of the topics in the article echo Verne's ideas."
The Lighthouse at the End of the World
Jules Verne
In “The Lighthouse at the End of the World,” Jules Verne is seen at his simplest and best. No antecedent improbability here has to be made good. The remoteness of the scene where the drama is laid supplies an element of dread of which advantage is skillfully taken, and the shortness of the period over which the story is extended adds excitement to the race against time which the villains of the piece are compelled to make in their attempt to escape justice. The rest is pure action, courage and resourcefulness pitted against ferocity and power of numbers, with no merely invented complications to retard the issue. As a simple adventure story “The lighthouse at the End of the World” must be declared a little masterpiece.
Les enfants du capitaine Grant: Tome 1
Jules Verne
Sur la foi d'un message trouvé dans une bouteille et à demi rongé par l'eau de mer, le magnifique yacht anglais, le Duncan, part à la recherche du capitaine Grant naufragé.

Les lacunes du message et, plus encore, les hasards de la navigation et la traîtrise de certains de faux amis, vont entraîner les membres de l'expédition dans des aventures tragiques ou comiques, sur terre et sur mer, de l'Amérique à l'Australie, comme seul Jules Verne sait les imaginer, dans leur captivante variété. Les merveilles de la nature jouent un grand rôle dans ce passionnant roman où les personnages sont particulièrement bien campés ; Les Enfants du capitaine Grant est un des fleurons des Voyages extraordinaires de Jules Verne.
The Fur Country
Jules Verne
Lt. Jasper Hobson and other members of the Hudson's Bay Trading Co. and his team along with the company's guests, Mrs. Paulina Barnett and Thomas Black travel through the North West Territories of Canada to Cape Bathurst on the Arctic Ocean. At Cape Bathurst, Hobson intends on creating a new trading post for the company, Paulina Barnett is along for the adventure and Thomas Black intends on viewing a solar eclipse during the summer of the following year. The party establishes their outpost before winter sets in, but when spring arrives, nearby volcanic activity triggers an earthquake, which the colony survives; however, a startling revelation is revealed later in the summer when Thomas Black tries to observe the total eclipse. Cape Bathurst has changed its position to the north by almost three degrees of latitude and to the west by several hundred miles; Hobson determines that the Cape has become an island. Now the party's only hope is the onset of winter, so they might travel across the ice, to reach the mainland Russian America (Alaska). When a mild (by Arctic standards) winter sets in and the island is locked by the ice directly north of the Bering Strait; but the ice is not sufficiently frozen enough for safe passage across the ice. The islands colonists wait for the spring thaw and hope that island will move south with the Bering current and that the boat they've built will be able to take them to safety.
The Survivors of the Chancellor
Jules Verne
Mr. Kazallon thought that booking passage on a cargo ship from Charleston to Liverpool would be a charming way to return to his English homeland. If he only knew! A crazed sea captain, a disaster in the hold, storms, oppressive heat, sharks, and starvation are just some of the many travails that beset both passengers and crew. Will any of them survive the wreck of the Chancellor?
Excerpt:
Charleston, September 27, 1869. We have just left the Battery wharf, at 3 P. M. The ebb tide is fast carrying us out to sea. Captain Huntly has put on all sail, and the north-wind is wafting the Chancellor across the bay. We soon double Fort Sumter, and the batteries flanking us along the coast are passed on the left. At four o'clock the entrance to the harbor, through which rushes a rapid ebb current, gives egress to the ves sel. But the Open ocean is still distant, and in order to reach it we must follow in the narrow channels which the waves have hollowed out in the sand-banks. Captain H untly therefore enters the southwest channel. The sails are nearly trimmed, and by seven in the evening our vessel has left behind the last sandy point on the coast, and is fairly launched upon the Atlantic.
The Chancellor, a fine three-masted ship of nine hundred tons burden, belongs to the wealthy house of the Lairds, of Liverpool. She is two years old.

The Adventures of Captain Hatteras
Jules Verne
Here is the first new translation of ever-popular adventure writer Jules Verne's thrilling novel of polar exploration in over a century. In the novel, First Mate Shandon receives a mysterious letter asking him to construct a reinforced steamship in Liverpool. As he heads out for Melville Bay and the Arctic labyrinth, a crewman finally reveals himself as Captain John Hatteras, and his obsession--to get to the North Pole. After experiencing appalling cold and hunger, the captain treks across the frozen wastes in search of fuel. Abandoned by most of his crew, and accompanied by a rival American explorer, Hatteras continues his journey to the Pole, encountering endless perils and adventures along the way. This new and unabridged translation of the first of Verne's Extraordinary Journeys series brilliantly conveys the novel's hypnotic mood and atmosphere. This edition also includes the original, censored ending, and fascinating details about the Arctic expeditions that captivated Verne's imagination. The introduction provides biographical insights based on recently discovered documents, and contains original proof of Verne's sources and inspiration; the notes analyze for the first time the hundreds of real-life figures cited by Verne.
Dick Sands the Boy Captain
Jules Verne
In 1878 appeared Dick Sands, the epic of the slave trade. This picture of the wilds of Africa, its adventures and its dangers, the savage hunting both of beasts and men, has always been a favorite among Verne's readers. It contains no marvels, no inventions, but merely, amid stirring scenes and actions seeks to convey two truthful impressions. One is the traveler's teaching the geographical information, the picture of Africa as explorers, botanists, and zoologists have found it. The other is the moral lesson of the awful curse of slavery, its brutalizing, horrible influence upon all who come in touch with it, and the absolutely devastating effect it has had upon Africa itself.
A Volta ao Mundo em 80 Dias

Les Tribulations d'un Chinois en Chine
Jules Verne
Le richissime Chinois Kin-Fo vient de se trouver soudainement ruiné. La vie, qui lui paraissait jusqu’alors insipide, lui devient insupportable. Il contracte une assurance-vie de 200 000 dollars en faveur de sa fiancée, Lé-ou, et du philosophe Wang, son mentor et ami, à qui il demande de le tuer dans un délai de deux mois, tout en lui remettant une lettre qui l’innocentera de ce meurtre.

Voyage au centre de la Terre
Jules Verne
Dans la petite maison du vieux quartier de Hambourg où Axel, jeune homme assez timoré, travaille avec son oncle, l’irascible professeur Lidenbrock, géologue et minéralogiste, dont il aime la pupille, la charmante Graüben, l’ordre des choses est soudain bouleversé.
Dans un vieux manuscrit, Lidenbrock trouve un cryptogramme. Arne Saknussemm, célèbre savant islandais du xvie siècle, y révèle que par la cheminée du cratère du Sneffels, volcan éteint d’Islande, il a pénétré jusqu’au centre de la Terre !
Lidenbrock s’enflamme aussitôt et part avec Axel pour l’Islande où, accompagnés du guide Hans, aussi flegmatique que son maître est bouillant, ils s’engouffrent dans les mystérieuses profondeurs du volcan…
En décrivant les prodigieuses aventures qui s’ensuivront, Jules Verne a peut-être atteint le sommet de son talent. La vigueur du récit, la parfaite maîtrise d’un art accordé à la puissance de l’imagination placent cet ouvrage au tout premier plan dans l’œuvre exceptionnelle du romancier.

20.000 de leghe sub mări
Jules Verne
When an unidentified “monster” threatens international shipping, French oceanographer Pierre Aronnax and his unflappable assistant Conseil join an expedition organized by the US Navy to hunt down and destroy the menace. After months of fruitless searching, they finally grapple with their quarry, but Aronnax, Conseil, and the brash Canadian harpooner Ned Land are thrown overboard in the attack, only to find that the “monster” is actually a futuristic submarine, the Nautilus, commanded by a shadowy, mystical, preternaturally imposing man who calls himself Captain Nemo. Thus begins a journey of 20,000 leagues—nearly 50,000 miles—that will take Captain Nemo, his crew, and these three adventurers on a journey of discovery through undersea forests, coral graveyards, miles-deep trenches, and even the sunken ruins of Atlantis. Jules Verne’s novel of undersea exploration has been captivating readers ever since its first publication in 1870, and Frederick Paul Walter’s reader-friendly, scientifically meticulous translation of this visionary science fiction classic is complete and unabridged down to the smallest substantive detail.
Cinci săptămîni în balon
Jules Verne
There was a large audience assembled on the 14th of January, 1862, at the session of the Royal Geographical Society, No. 3 Waterloo Place, London. The president, Sir Francis M -, made an important communication to his colleagues, in an address that was frequently interrupted by applause. This rare specimen of eloquence terminated with the following sonorous phrases bubbling over with patriotism: "England has always marched at the head of nations" (for, the reader will observe, the nations always march at the head of each other), "by the intrepidity of her explorers in the line of geographical discovery." (General assent). "Dr. Samuel Ferguson, one of her most glorious sons, will not reflect discredit on his origin." ("No, indeed!" from all parts of the hall.)
