Product Description
Product Description
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.

AMONG VERNE'S BEST!, Jan 12 2011
By George C. Russell - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jules Verne: Seven Novels (Hardcover)
If you enjoyed the Hollywood versions of these great adventure/science fiction novels, you should enjoy the actual books even more. The 19th century writing style reminds you how amazing these tales must have seemed to the original readers.
