Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jules Verne has been acknowledged --for 150 years-- as one of the founders of the science fiction story telling genre; but, curiously enough, over a century ago readers knew him as the most popular writer of a kind of literature cataloged under the name of Travel Novel; the purpose of those who cultivated the genre was as much to teach as to entertain. However, Jules Verne went beyond the Travel Novel and became the most accredited representative of the Scientific Novel, which he further developed into the Science Fiction Novel. It would be pointless to ask Jules Verne if he brought science into the context of the novel or simply introduced the novel in the field of science; his enthusiasm led him from one genre to the other and his creativity, his fertility, did the rest. Jules Verne was the first, at least in France, to use the marvelous scientist as main character; an element of his story-telling that especially established his enormous success.Five Weeks in a Balloon launched Jules Verne in 1863 into a famous and well-respected career, writing prescient literature loved worldwide. This journey of discovery in Africa by three Englishmen --Doctor Ferguson, his friend Kennedy and his valet Joe-- who undertake the crossing of the African Continent in a balloon. The reader learns the geography of Africa and the history of its main explorers and follows, along the way, a course of aerostation. Journey to the Center of the Earth is Jules Verne''s most popular work --a tale of adventures inside planet Earth, written in 1864. The novel deals with the discovery of an ancient runic manuscript by a German scholar who, with his nephew and a guide, undertakes a journey to the center of the earth by entering through an extinct Icelandic volcano, the Sn�fellsj�kull; it is a clever mix of scientific data, daring extrapolations and adventures very representative of what Verne later published. Professor Lidenbrock is bigger than life with his unlimited devotion to science and his ethics, but also by his ridiculous antics. The novel is not just an imaginary trip toward the Earth''s core; it is also a journey in paleontology that takes the reader through the various epochs of our planet''s formation. The possibility of a subterranean sea similar to the Lidenbrock Sea has been for a long time refuted by geological scientists; however, in 2016, researchers from Florida State University and the University of Edinburgh estimated that water existed far deeper in the Earth than previously thought. Although the exact amount of water is unknown, researchers believe it could account for as much as 1.5 percent of the weight of the planet --the same amount of water as all the world''s oceans put together. I don''t know if this body of water has yet been given a name; but may I suggest Lidenbrock Sea.Around the World in 80 Days is Jules Verne''s masterpiece: The first three chapters alone would make a fine short story. The book is an absolute joy to read, beautifully written with thrilling adventures, brief historical background notes concerning a given place and time, subtle humor and --Romance. Jean Passepartout, a young Frenchman, muscular and of herculean strength, has practiced such disparate trades as street singer, circus acrobat, gymnastics teacher, and fireman sergeant in Paris; but he is tired of that existence. After leaving behind the Jack-of-all-trade lifestyle of his youth, we find him in London, trying out the more peaceful trade of valet. Passepartout is delighted to find Phileas Fogg, the perfect sedentary English gentlemen. He gladly foresees a future of pure blissful quietude as valet in the house on Saville Row; but his dream of blissful tranquility is cut short, for the very day he is hired, Phileas Fogg, contrary to his calm, collected, sedentary nature, decides to take up the challenge of traveling around the world in eighty days! And right there and then, our young Frenchman is embarked on a race against time around the planet. Enjoy!

Download or read book The Jules Verne Collection (5 Books in 1) Around the World in 80 Days, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, from the Eart written by Jules Verne and published by Engage Books. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jules Verne Collection includes five novels; Around the World in 80 Days, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, and Around the Moon. This set is limited to 1,000 copies. In Around the World in 80 Days, Jules Verne helped make the world seem a little smaller, and accessible to young adventurers, spurring many to attempt a voyage around the world. In 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the description of Nemo's ship, called the Nautilus, was considered ahead of its time, as it accurately describes features on submarines, which at the time were very primitive vessels. In Journey to the Center of the Earth, readers were brought face to face with prehistoric creatures deep within the bowels of the Earth. In From the Earth to the Moon, many of Verne's calculations in launching a projectile into space were surprisingly accurate, and his placement of a launch site in Florida predated the Kennedy Space Center's construction in Florida by almost 100 years. In Around the Moon, Verne describes how the gravitational force of a large asteroid can change the course of a space ship, and encouraged readers to dream about the wonders of the Moon's surface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the best storytellers who ever lived."--Arthur C. Clarke In one dazzling decade, French novelist Jules Verne took readers places they'd never gone before. . .the age of dinosaurs. . .the undersea realm of Atlantis. . .the craters and crevices of the moon. . .and a whirlwind aerial tour of the planet earth! Though he penned his unforgettable yarns in French, Verne plunked big parts of them down in America. And he himself possessed an American sassiness, nerve, and sense of humor, so Americans have returned the compliment: we've released dozens of Hollywood films based on his astonishing tales, and we've created the U.S.S. Nautilus, the NASA space missions, and other technological triumphs that have turned Verne's visions into practical reality. Here are Jules Verne's best-loved novels in one convenient omnibus volume, but with a huge difference. This book features new, accurate, accessible, and unabridged translations of these five visionary classics, translations that are complete down to the smallest substantive detail, that showcase Verne's farseeing science with unprecedented clarity and accuracy, capture the wit, prankishness, and showbiz flamboyance of one of literature's leading humorists and satirists. This is a Verne almost completely unknown to Americans. . .yet a Verne who has an uncannily American mindset! So these heroes and happenings are part of our heritage: Phileas Fogg chugging across the wild, wild west. . .the impossible underground journey of Professor Lidenbrock. . . the deep-sea exploits of secretive Captain Nemo. . .and a moon shot so realistic, it inspired U.S. astronaut Frank Borman a full century later. Jules Verne was a science buff with a showbiz background, and finally these classic storiess have a translator with the same orientation: Frederick Paul Walter is one of America's foremost Verne scholars. . . But he's also a scriptwriter, broadcaster, and part-time fossil hunter! Enriched with dozens of classic illustrations, The Amazing Journeys of Jules Verne will be a family favorite in every home library. Jules Verne was born in 1828 into a French lawyering family in the Atlantic coastal city of Nantes. Though his father sent him off to a Paris law school, young Jules had been writing on the side since his early teens, and his pet topics were the theater, travel, and science. Predictably enough, his legal studies led nowhere, so Verne took a day job with a stock brokerage, in his off hours penning scripts for farces and musical comedies while also publishing short stories and novelettes of scientific exploration and adventure. His big breakthrough came when he combined his theatrical knack with his scientific bent and in 1863 published an African adventure yarn, Five Weeks in a Balloon. After that and till his death in 1905, Jules Verne was one of the planet's best-loved and best-selling novelists, publishing over sixty books. In addition to the five visionary classics in this volume, other imaginative favorites by him include The Mysterious Island, Hector Servadac, the Begum's Millions, Master of the World, and The Meteor Hunt. Verne ranks among the five most translated authors in history, along with Mark Twain and the Bible .Frederick Paul Walter is a scriptwriter, broadcaster, librarian, and amateur paleontologist. A Trustee of the North American Jules Verne Society, he served as its Vice President from 2000 to 20008. Walter has produced many media programs, articles, reviews, and papers on aspects of Jules Verne and has collaborated on translations and scholarly editions of three Verne novels: The Meteor Hunt, The Mighty Orinoco, and a special edition of 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas for the U.S. Naval Institute in Annapolis. Known to friends as Rick Walter, he lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
