&quot;The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras" (French: «Voyages et aventures du capitaine Hatteras») is an adventure novel by Jules Verne in two parts: «The English at the North Pole» (French: «Les Anglais au pôle nord») and «The desert of ice» (French: «Le Désert de glace»).
 
The novel was published for the first time in 1864. The definitive version from 1866 was included into Voyages Extraordinaires series («The Extraordinary Voyages»). Although it was the first book of the series it was labeled as number two. Three of Verne&apos;s books from 1863-65 («Five Weeks in a Balloon», «Journey to the Center of the Earth», and «From the Earth to the Moon») were added into the series retroactively. Captain Hatteras shows many similarities with British explorer John Franklin.

Robur the Conqueror (French: Robur-le-Conquérant) is a science fiction novel by Jules Verne, published in 1886. It is also known as The Clipper of the Clouds. It has a sequel, Master of the World, which was published in 1904.
The story begins with strange lights and sounds, including blaring trumpet music, reported in the skies all over the world. The events are capped by the mysterious appearance of black flags with gold suns atop tall historic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty in New York, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. These events are all the work of the mysterious Robur (the specific epithet for the English oak (Quercus robur) and figuratively taken to mean «strength»), a brilliant inventor who intrudes on a meeting of a flight-enthusiasts&apos; club called the Weldon Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Robur the Conqueror (Unabridged)

Around the World in Eighty Days (French: Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours) is an adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, first published in French in 1872. In the story, Phileas Fogg of London and his newly employed French valet Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a £20,000 wager (£2,242,900 in 2019) set by his friends at the Reform Club. It is one of Verne&apos;s most acclaimed works.
The story starts in London on Wednesday, 2 October 1872. Phileas Fogg is a rich British gentleman living in solitude. Despite his wealth, Fogg lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision. Very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club, where he spends much of every day. Having dismissed his former valet, James Forster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 °F (29 °C) instead of 86 °F (30 °C), Fogg hires Frenchman Jean Passepartout as a replacement.

The Mysterious Island

&quot;Journey to the Center of the Earth" (French: «Voyage au centre de la Terre», also translated under the titles «A Journey to the Centre of the Earth» and «A Journey to the Interior of the Earth») is a classic 1864 science fiction novel by Jules Verne. The story involves German professor Otto Lidenbrock who believes there are volcanic tubes going toward the centre of the Earth. He, his nephew Axel, and their guide Hans descend into the Icelandic volcano Snæfellsjökull, encountering many adventures, including prehistoric animals and natural hazards, before eventually coming to the surface again in southern Italy, at the Stromboli volcano.
 
From a scientific point of view, this story has not aged quite as well as other Verne stories, since most of his ideas about what the interior of the Earth contains have since been disproved, but it still manages to captivate audiences when regarded as a classic fantasy novel.

&quot;In Search of the Castaways" (French: «Les Enfants du capitaine Grant», lit. «The Children of Captain Grant») is a novel by the French writer Jules Verne, published in 1867–1868. The original edition, published by Hetzel, contains a number of illustrations by Édouard Riou. In 1876 it was republished by George Routledge &amp; Sons as a three volume set titled «A Voyage Round The World». The three volumes were subtitled «South America», «Australia», and «New Zealand». (As often with Verne, English translations have appeared under different names; another edition has the overall title «Captain Grant&apos;s Children» and has two volumes subtitled «The Mysterious Document» and «Among the Cannibals».)

&quot;Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" (French: «Vingt mille lieues sous les mers») is a classic science fiction novel by French writer Jules Verne published in 1870. 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 harpoonist Ned Land wash up on their ship. On the Nautilus, the three embark on a journey which has them going all around the world.
 
The original edition had no illustrations; the first illustrated edition was published by Hetzel with illustrations by Alphonse de Neuville and Édouard Riou. The book was highly acclaimed when released and still is now; it is regarded as one of the premiere adventure novels and one of Verne&apos;s greatest works, along with «Around the World in Eighty Days» and «Journey to the Center of the Earth». The description of Nemo&apos;s ship, the Nautilus, was considered ahead of its time, as it accurately describes features on submarines, which at the time were very primitive vessels. Thus, the book has been able to age well because of its scientific theories, unlike some other of Verne&apos;s works, like «Journey to the Center of the Earth», which are not scientifically accurate and serve more simply as adventure novels.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

Jules Verne was born in 1828 in France. His dream was to write a new kind of novel, which combined scientific fact with fiction. Verne eventually wrote 40 novels in his Voyages extraordinaires series. «What one man can imagine, another will someday be able to achieve.» Is a quote from an article in the Encyclopedia Britannica that sums up Verne so well. In All Around the Moon three space travelers are conversing about science and mathematics. They decide to alter the course of their projectile, which leads to unanticipated results.

The escapees are Cyrus Smith, a railroad engineer in the Union army (named Cyrus Harding in Kingston&apos;s version); his ex-slave and loyal follower Neb (short for Nebuchadnezzar); Bonadventure Pencroff, a sailor (who is addressed only by his surname; in Kingston&apos;s translation, he is named Pencroft); his protégé and adopted son Harbert Brown (called Herbert in some translations); and the journalist Gedéon Spilett (Gideon Spilett in English versions). The company is completed by Cyrus&apos; dog «Top».

&quot;Five Weeks in a Balloon, or, Journeys and Discoveries in Africa by Three Englishmen" (French: «Cinq semaines en ballon») is an adventure novel by Jules Verne.
 
It is the first Verne novel in which he perfected the «ingredients» of his later work, skillfully mixing a plot full of adventure and twists that hold the reader&apos;s interest with passages of technical, geographic, and historic description. The book gives readers a glimpse of the exploration of Africa, which was still not completely known to Europeans of the time, with explorers traveling all over the continent in search of its secrets.
 
Public interest in fanciful tales of African exploration was at its height, and the book was an instant hit; it made Verne financially independent and got him a contract with Jules Hetzel&apos;s publishing house, which put out several dozen more works of his for over forty years afterward.

&quot;From the Earth to the Moon" (French: «De la terre à la lune») is an 1865 novel by Jules Verne. It tells the story of the Baltimore Gun Club, a post-American Civil War society of weapons aficionados, and their attempts to build an enormous sky-facing Columbiad space gun and launch three people – the Gun Club&apos;s president, his Philadelphian armor-making rival, and a French poet – in a projectile with the goal of a moon landing.
 
The story is also notable in that Verne attempted to do some rough calculations as to the requirements for the cannon and, considering the comparative lack of any data on the subject at the time, some of his figures are surprisingly close to reality. However, his scenario turned out to be impractical for safe manned space travel since a much longer muzzle would have been required to reach escape velocity while limiting acceleration to survivable limits for the passengers.
 
The character of Michel Ardan, the French poet in the novel, was inspired by the real-life photographer Félix Nadar.
