Around the World in 80 Days
"I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new." Join English gentleman Phileas Fogg and his French valet Passepartout as they attempt to traverse the globe in just eighty days to win a £20,000 bet. Departing from London on 2 October, they must return by 21 December to secure the winnings, which amounts to half of Fogg's total fortune. Journeying by steamer, rail, and even elephant, will they make it back to London in time? Packed with unforgettable characters and daring deeds, this is one of the greatest stories of all time.
Journey to the Centre of the Earth
Professor Otto Lidenbrock's adventure begins when a scrap of paper drops from an ancient book. The coded inscription reveals a passageway to the centre of the earth, located within an extinct volcano in Iceland. Accompanied by his nephew Axel and a Swiss guide, they descend into a prehistoric world. Written in 1864, this edition has been revised for modern readers.
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
In search of a giant narwhal, Professor Arronax, his servant Conseil, and harpooner Ned Land discover the Nautilus, an advanced submarine piloted by the mysterious Captain Nemo. As they help Nemo, they encounter giant squids and lost cities. This action-packed tale showcases Verne's unparalleled imagination.
From the Earth to the Moon
After the Civil War, the Baltimore Gun Club seeks a new project: a gun powerful enough to launch a rocket to the moon. Three daring pioneers prepare for an adventure filled with humor and astonishing predictions, telling the story of the international space race nearly a century before it began.
Around the Moon
Barbican, Ardan, and M'Nicholl embark on a voyage to the Moon in a bullet-shaped projectile. When an asteroid threatens their journey, they face life-or-death challenges, including intoxicating gases and a frantic scramble to recalibrate their trajectory to return home safely. This essential work of science fiction highlights Verne's remarkable talent for invention.
