Overview
Step aboard for five of the greatest adventure stories ever written. This paperback boxed set brings together Jules Verne's most celebrated Voyages Extraordinaires, from a whirlwind circumnavigation of the globe to a daring plunge beneath the ocean waves and an ambitious rocket launch to the Moon. Presented with striking contemporary cover art, it's a wonderful introduction to Verne's imagination and a handsome addition to any bookshelf for fans of classic science fiction and adventure.

About the Books
Each novel showcases Jules Verne's singular blend of scientific detail and breathless adventure. In Around the World in Eighty Days, the unflappable Phileas Fogg accepts a wager to circle the globe in eighty days, encountering elephants, trains and steamships along the way. Journey to the Centre of the Earth follows Professor Liedenbrock and his nephew Axel as they descend through an Icelandic volcano into a subterranean world of prehistoric wonders. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea introduces the enigmatic Captain Nemo and his submarine, the Nautilus, in a haunting tale of exploration and revenge beneath the waves. Finally, From the Earth to the Moon and its sequel Around the Moon follow members of the Baltimore Gun Club as they build a colossal cannon to blast themselves into space, decades before real moon landings made Verne's speculative science a reality. Together, these novels represent the best of Verne's Voyages Extraordinaires — stories that helped invent modern science fiction while remaining thrilling, funny and deeply human adventures.

About the Author
Jules Verne (1828–1905) was a French novelist, poet and playwright whose extraordinary imagination produced some of the most influential adventure fiction ever written. Best known for his Voyages Extraordinaires series, Verne combined scientific research with storytelling to predict submarines, space travel and deep-sea exploration long before they existed. Widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction, his novels have been translated into more languages than almost any other author and continue to inspire readers and filmmakers worldwide.
