Writing in France in the nineteenth century, Jules Verne was
fascinated by adventure and exploration. Collecting "Five Weeks in
a Balloon", "Around the World in Eighty Days", "A Journey to the
Center of the Earth", "From the Earth to the Moon", "Round the
Moon", "Twenty-Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and "The Mysterious
Island", this omnibus offers a unique compilation of seven of
Verne's Voyages, stories in which he extrapolated developing
technology and invention into marvellous fiction. This volume
offers readers a generous introduction to Jules Verne, whose books
are as alive today as they were for readers new to the ideas
expressed in them during his time. This edition of the text is
exquisitely bound in bonded-leather, with distinctive gilt edging
and an attractive silk-ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and
collectable, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young
and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for any home library.
