Download or read book Invasion of the Sea written by Jules Verne and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-12 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First English edition of a classic Verne novel. Jules Verne, celebrated French author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in 80 Days, wrote over 60 novels collected in the popular series "Voyages Extraordinaires." A handful of these have never been translated into English, including Invasion of the Sea, written in 1904 when large-scale canal digging was very much a part of the political, economic, and military strategy of the world's imperial powers. Instead of linking two seas, as existing canals (the Suez and the Panama) did, Verne proposed a canal that would create a sea in the heart of the Sahara Desert. The story raises a host of concerns — environmental, cultural, and political. The proposed sea threatens the nomadic way of life of those Islamic tribes living on the site, and they declare war. The ensuing struggle is finally resolved only by a cataclysmic natural event. This Wesleyan edition features notes, appendices and an introduction by Verne scholar Arthur B. Evans, as well as reproductions of the illustrations from the original French edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the Earth to the Moon: A Direct Route in 97 Hours, 20 Minutes (French: De la Terre à la Lune, trajet direct en 97 heures 20 minutes) is an 1865 novel by Jules Verne. It tells the story of the Baltimore Gun Club, a post-American Civil War society of weapons enthusiasts, and their attempts to build an enormous Columbiad space gun and launch three people-the Gun Club's president, his Philadelphian armor-making rival, and a French poet-in a projectile with the goal of a Moon landing. Five years later, Verne wrote a sequel called Around the Moon.The story is also notable in that Verne attempted to do some rough calculations as to the requirements for the cannon and in that, considering the comparative lack of empirical data on the subject at the time, some of his figures are remarkably accurate. However, his scenario turned out to be impractical for safe manned space travel since a much longer barrel would have been required to reach escape velocity while limiting acceleration to survivable limits for the passengers"

Download or read book Five Weeks in a Balloon written by Jules Verne and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the great “first novels” in world literature is now available in a complete, accurate English translation. Prepared by two of America’s leading Verne scholars, Frederick Paul Walter and Arthur B. Evans, this edition honors not only Verne’s farseeing science, but also his zest, style, and storytelling brilliance. Initially published in 1863, Five Weeks in a Balloon was the first novel in what would become the author’s "Extraordinary Voyages" series. It tells the tale of a 4,000-mile balloon trip over the mysterious continent of Africa, a trip that wouldn’t actually take place until well into the next century. Fusing adventure, comedy, and science fiction, Five Weeks has all the key ingredients of classic Verne: sly humor and cheeky characters, an innovative scientific invention, a tangled plot that’s full of suspense and surprise, and visions of an unknown realm. As part of the Early Classics of Science Fiction series, this critical edition features extensive notes, all the illustrations from the original French edition, and a complete Verne biography and bibliography. Five Weeks in a Balloon will be a prized addition to libraries and science fiction reading lists, and a must-read for Verne fans and steampunk connoisseurs.

Book excerpt: For most of his career, Verne strongly advocated the study of science, sharing the nineteenth centurys optimism about technological progress. Early novels such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1872), From the Earth to the Moon, and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1873) illustrate his attitudes and artistic practices. He called these novels voyages extraordinaires. Some later ones fell into that category as well, but he demonstrated a growing distrust of science. Although critics have recognized the importance of the novels as science fiction, they have often claimed that Verne relied too heavily on conventions of the adventure or travel story. Verne based his novels on possible or probable developments of present or near-future science, emphasizing realism through exact description. He set his characters in a particular time and place, put them in confrontation with physical nature, and dramatized their responses in the form of a journey or quest. With the exception of Captain Nemo in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, his characters were recognizable types such as the scientist, the professor, or the adventurer. He subordinated them to the surroundings or circumstances that science had created for human action. The journeys of his characters to the Moon, to the center of the earth, to the bottom of the sea, or to the far reaches of the solar system conveyed the wonder and excitement of scientific discovery. Verne's characters embodied practicality, independence, tenacity, energy, and wonder, strengthening them against obstacles of nature. Working outside institutions, Barbicane and Ardan solved one problem after another to achieve spaceflight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Earth to the Moon (French: De la Terre à la Lune, 1865) is a humorous science fantasy novel by Jules Verne and is one of the earliest entries in that genre. It tells the story of the president of a post-American Civil War gun club in Baltimore, his rival, a Philadelphia maker of armor, and a Frenchman, who builds an enormous sky-facing Columbiad space gun and launch themselves in a projectile/spaceship from it to a Moon landing.The story is also notable in that Verne attempted to do some rough calculations as to the requirements for the cannon and, considering the comparative lack of any data on the subject at the time, some of his figures are surprisingly close to reality. However, his scenario turned out to be impractical for safe manned space travel since a much longer muzzle would have been required to reach escape velocity while limiting acceleration to survivable limits for the passengers.Includes a Biography of the Author
