Jules Verne

This is the story of an Underwater Tour of the World and is a classic science fiction novel by French writer Jules Verne. It tells the story of Captain Nemo and his submarine Nautilus, as seen from the perspective of Professor Pierre Aronnax after he, his servant Conseil, and Canadian whaler Ned Land are brought aboard the submarine, called the Nautilus, where they meet the mysterious Captain Nemo. Their status on the ship seems ambiguous. Are they guests, as Nemo insists, or prisoners, as Ned Land begins to suspect? Nemo introduces them to the wonders of the underwater world. He shows them the lost continent of Atlantis and the wrecks he has plundered of gold as well as many other wonders.

This third collection of some of Jules Verne's shorter stories contains several gems. They range from a dramatic tale taking place in old Mexico, a story about an armament manufacturer and his fortune, some monkey business, a visit to a utopian city and a previously unpublished story attributed to J. Verne. The book contains: - The Begum's Fortune - A Drama in Mexico - Gil Braltar - An ideal City - The Claims Against The Female Driver Most of these have restored illustrations from either their original publications, or subsequent re-printings. These have been carefully cleaned and balanced so they may be enjoyed. A couple do not seem to have been previously translated, or when they were, entire chapters were omitted. Who knows why, but we have restored them where we could find more complete French versions.

This is the second collection of the shorter stories of Jules Verne. In this volume five tales ranging from the short to novella-length are presented to give a wide variety of his works. This collection is not unique as it was first published in 1887 under the title of A Winter Amid The ice. That is also the title of one of the stories. The others are: -Dr. Ox's Experiment -Master Zacharius -A Drama In The Air -A Winter Amid the Ice -The 40th French Ascent of Mont Blanc Very little is seen of these works in this day and age, unlike his more famous novels such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas, The Mysterious Island, etc. We believe it is about time to get these back into the hands of readers.
