Jules Verne's most beloved novels are gathered here in one
hardcover volume: three thrilling tales of fabulous journeys under,
through, and around the earth.
Verne was one of the great pioneers of science fiction. Born in
France in 1828, he wrote brilliantly about space, air, and
underwater travel long before airplanes and space ships had been
invented, and he is still one of the most widely read
internationally of all science-fiction writers.
But beyond charting new territory for adventurous fiction, his
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.

Due to the very old age and scarcity of this book, many of the
pages may be hard to read due to the blurring of the original text.
