About the Books
This collection brings together four landmark works from Jules Verne's Voyages extraordinaires, the series that established him as the father of modern science fiction. In Five Weeks in a Balloon, three explorers drift across uncharted African terrain in a hydrogen balloon, blending real geography with breathless adventure. Around the World in Eighty Days follows Phileas Fogg as he races the clock on a wager that carries him across continents and cultures, making it one of the most enduring travel adventures ever written. A Journey to the Centre of the Earth sends Professor Lidenbrock and his companions descending through volcanic tunnels into a hidden underground world of prehistoric creatures. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea completes the set, taking readers beneath the waves aboard Captain Nemo's submarine Nautilus for an underwater odyssey mixing marine science, moral complexity and thrilling discovery. Together, these four novels showcase Verne's gift for combining meticulous research with imaginative storytelling, a formula that captivated Victorian readers and continues to inspire adaptations today.
