Having learnt that a new railway in India has made it theoretically
possible to travel all the way around the globe in no more than
eighty days, Phileas Fogg, a wealthy and fastidious London
gentleman, makes a wager of ÂŁ20,000 with his Reform Club
associates that he can achieve this hitherto unheard-of feat, and,
accompanied by his French valet Jean Passepartout, boards a train
for Dover the very same evening. Pursued on their epic journey by a
Scotland Yard policeman who has mistaken Fogg for a bank robber,
the intrepid voyagers face a race against time as they traverse a
range of exotic and sometimes hazardous landscapes and make use of
any and every mode of transport available to them – including
elephants – in order to achieve their goal. A huge commercial
success on first publication in 1872, Jules Verne’s classic
adventure story has been adapted numerous times for the stage and
the screen, as well as inspiring many real-life adventurers who
have sought to emulate Fogg’s audacious odyssey. Now presented in
a brand-new translation.
Accompanied by his nephew Harry and his guide Hans, Professor Von
Hardwigg follows directions in a coded message left by
sixteenth-century alchemist Arne Saknussemm to the crater of the
volcano Sneffels. There they descend into a subterranean world that
is home to marvels from the prehistoric past that could never exist
in the world above ground. One of his styled "extraordinary
voyages," Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth is a
masterpiece of adventure that has never been out of print since it
was first published in French in 1864. This edition of Verne's
novel features more than 50 full-page illustrations by the
distinguished artist Edouard Rio.
Jules Gabriel Verne 1828-1905) was a French Breton author who
pioneered the science-fiction genre and is best known for Twenty
Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth,
and Around the World in Eighty Days. Two Years' Holiday tells the
story of a group of schoolboys stranded on a deserted island in the
South Pacific and their struggles to overcome adversity.
