The Greatest Works of Jules Verne

Deep water, the earth's interior and a wager about circling the globe supply the great journeys in this Verne anthology, presented in a deluxe format for readers who want them in one place. What holds the selections together is method: Verne's travellers plan, calculate and equip themselves, and the suspense comes from whether the plan survives contact with the world. Captain Nemo's submarine, the descent through a volcanic passage and Phileas Fogg's timetable each work on that principle, and the books remain readable at almost any age. Where the appeal lies: • Elegant deluxe format aimed at collectors of classic adventure • Voyages by submarine, underground and right around the world • Verne's characters plan and calculate before they set out • Accessible to teenage readers and adults alike A good choice for classic adventure readers, gift buyers and collectors building a Verne shelf, available in English from Boipoka.
