A Journey To The Center Of The Earth (Troll Illustrated Classics) (1997)
Supposedly, Jules Verne is, in France, considered a “travel and adventure” writer, and is considered one of the great French authors, along with Zola, Hugo, and Dumas. Although I don’t consider him one of the greatest authors I’ve read, I have no doubt that Jules Verne is a great author, and well...

Claudius Bombarnac: The Adventures of a Special Correspondent (2008)
I enjoyed this book, but I don't think I would have if I hadn't traveled in (and been a bit obsessed with) Central Asia. The plot was not as interesting to me as the detailed descriptions of the various cities and towns that Claudius Bombarnac visits during his trip between Baku (modern Azerbaija...
Journey To The Centre Of The Earth: [3]Level 1 (2003)

In his quest to penetrate the planet's primordial secrets, the geologist--together with his quaking nephew Axel and their devot...
The Lottery Ticket (2003)
A string of coincidences in this novel ruined the pleasure of reading it. I was anyway indulgent with credibility for Jules Verne's novels, but in this one, there are a lot of events tied to the plot that are just visible from the outer space that it is a fabricated story. As I like very much fro...
800 Leagues on the Amazon (2005)
Take a journey on a giant raft with Joam Garral down 800 Leagues on the Amazon. Garral, a Brazilian, lives on a thriving fazenda (plantation) in the Peruvian frontier with his loving family. But, his daughter's imminent marriage to a Brazilian army surgeon compels him to return to his homeland to...
The Adventures of Captain Hatteras (2005)
Fiction. Written during a time when there were still blank spaces on the map, when Verne could slap a volcano down on the North Pole and no one could call him on it, The Adventures of Captain Hatteras might seem fantastic to us today with its temperate polar waters teaming with wildlife (and flyi...
An Antarctic Mystery (2006)
I read Le Sphinix des Glaces immediately after the novel to which it is a sequel, that-is-to-say Edgar Allen Poe’s “Adverntures of Arthur Gordon Pym”. I believe that this is the best if not the only way to enjoy “Le Sphinx des Glaces.” Certainly I strongly advise against reading “Le Sphinix” to a...

The Mysterious Island (2004)
"The Mysterious Island" is a novel by Jules Verne first published by Hetzel in 1874. The original edition contained quite a few illustrations done by Jules Férat. My edition has quite a few of the illustrations but originally there were even more. The novel is linked by certain characters to tw...
The Meteor Hunt: The First English Translation of Verne's Original Manuscript (2006)
As minor Verne goes, this is one of the better ones I have read lately. Verne's usually feeble humor ismore effective because it is more logically tied into the plot. Two rival American astronomers find a meteor which goes into orbit around the earth. The meteor turns out to me made of gold. An...
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2006)
I have had a ridiculous amount of fun this year listening to classic novels as audiobooks. When Audible offered a freebie (I think it was a freebie) of Journey to the Center of the Earth read by Tim Curry, I was excited – Tim Curry! Come on. It almost didn't matter what it was; I kind of place Cu...
Around the World in Eighty Days (2004)
NOTE: I "read" the audiobook version of this, narrated by the fabulous Jim Dale. I think this definitely added interest to the story, which did begin a bit dull, but ended splendidly! Dale is REMARKABLE at the characterization and voices and I think this tale is especially well suited to being r...
