Description

The Classic Jules Verne Collection is a remarkable five-volume box set that brings together the timeless adventures of one of literature's most celebrated authors. With contemporary cover designs, this collection invites readers to delve into the imaginative worlds crafted by Verne.

The Plot

Each volume showcases a unique journey filled with exploration, ingenuity, and the spirit of adventure:

  • Around the World in Eighty Days: Follow the meticulous Phileas Fogg as he embarks on a bet to circumnavigate the globe in a mere eighty days, encountering challenges and marvels at every turn.
  • Journey to the Centre of the Earth: Accompany Professor Liedenbrock and his intrepid companions as they embark on a subterranean expedition, unearthing ancient mysteries and breathtaking wonders beneath the Earth's surface.
  • Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea: Dive into the depths of the ocean with Captain Nemo aboard the Nautilus, exploring the uncharted waters and the ethical dilemmas of isolation and freedom.

Themes and Style

Verne's writing is characterised by meticulous research and vivid descriptions, transporting readers to exotic locales and extraordinary scenarios. Themes of adventure, scientific discovery, and the triumph of human spirit resonate throughout his works, reflecting the spirit of the age in which he wrote.

Literary Merit

This collection not only showcases Verne's pioneering contributions to the science fiction genre but also his profound understanding of human nature and societal challenges. Readers who appreciate the works of H.G. Wells or Robert Louis Stevenson will find Verne's narratives equally captivating.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." – A sentiment echoed in Verne's adventures.
