Jules Verne: A Collection Of Novels

Jules Verne sent his characters under the sea, into the earth and around the globe, and this anthology carries the three journeys readers name first. Around the World in Eighty Days, Journey to the Centre of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea appear in one volume. Verne built each book on the engineering and geography available to him, which is why the voyages still feel worked out rather than wished for. The pace suits younger readers, while the detail keeps adults reading, and the three novels together make a compact introduction to nineteenth-century adventure writing. Highlights of this collection: • Three of Verne's best known novels bound as one anthology • Submarine, subterranean and round-the-world journeys in a single book • Technical and geographical detail grounded in its period • Deluxe edition suited to family shelves and collections A good fit for young adventure readers, families and collectors of classic fiction, available in English from Boipoka.
