Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Round the World in Eighty Days
Jules Verne's most beloved novels, gathered in one hardcover volume, present three thrilling tales of fabulous journeys under, through, and around the earth. Verne, a pioneer of science fiction, was born in France in 1828 and wrote brilliantly about space, air, and underwater travel long before such technologies had been invented. He remains one of the most widely read science-fiction writers internationally.
Beyond charting new territory for adventurous fiction, Verne's creations have entered our culture and taken on the magnitude and vitality of myth. It is hard to imagine anyone who has not heard of Captain Nemo and his giant submarine exploring the ruins of Atlantis in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Phileas Fogg's frantic race around the world by every means of transportation in Round the World in Eighty Days, and the harrowing descent through a volcanic crater to underground caverns where prehistoric creatures roam in Journey to the Center of the Earth. These stories have seized the imaginations of readers for generations and are as vivid and exciting now as when their author first imagined traveling beyond the bounds of the possible.
Verne's pioneering role in the science-fiction genre is undisputed. His stories often anticipated technological developments, such as space travel and underwater exploration, that were still decades away during his lifetime. This visionary quality, combined with his masterful storytelling and rich character development, has cemented his status as one of the most influential authors in the history of literature.
The three novels featured in this volume showcase Verne's remarkable talent for creating immersive, high-stakes adventures that capture the imagination. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea follows the enigmatic Captain Nemo and his crew as they explore the depths of the ocean in the Nautilus, a technological marvel of its time. Round the World in Eighty Days chronicles Phileas Fogg's race against the clock to circumnavigate the globe, employing various modes of transportation and encountering a host of colorful characters along the way. Journey to the Center of the Earth takes readers on a perilous expedition through a volcanic crater, where the explorers encounter prehistoric creatures and uncover the secrets of the earth's interior.
Each of these stories is a masterpiece of adventure fiction, blending scientific speculation, thrilling action, and unforgettable characters. Verne's ability to transport readers to fantastical realms while grounding his narratives in plausible scientific concepts has earned him a lasting place in the literary canon.
The present volume, translated by Henry Frith, offers readers the opportunity to immerse themselves in Verne's timeless tales of exploration and discovery. Whether encountering these classics for the first time or revisiting them, readers will be captivated by the author's boundless imagination and his enduring influence on the science-fiction genre.
