Bøker av Jules Verne

Le roman est d'abord publié dans le Journal des Débats du 9 août au 6 septembre 1870, puis mis en vente, sous forme de volume, le 17 juillet 1871, chez Hetzel. La ville flottante, c'est le Great Eastern, un énorme navire faisant la traversée Liverpool-New York, à bord duquel se trouvent plusieurs milliers de personnes, avec leurs caractères différents. Une vraie société. Le personnage principal du récit en est le narrateur." Plus qu'un vaisseau, c'est une ville flottante. Si le Great Eastem n'est pas seulement une machine nautique, si c'est un microcosme, un observateur ne s'étonnera pas d'y rencontrer tous les instincts, tous les ridicules, toutes les passions des hommes. "Les rumeurs vont bon train quand on franchit le pont du Great Eastern : des cabines jusqu'aux cales, il est question d'inquiétantes disparitions... Un des capitaines aurait péri noyé, un passager se serait égaré dans les profondeurs du navire, un mécanicien aurait même été soudé dans la boîte à vapeur ! Hypnotisé par la démesure du bâtiment, le narrateur embarque à son bord pour une traversée qui réserve bien des surprises.Extrait du chapitre 1 : Le 18 mars 1867, j'arrivais à Liverpool. Le Great-Eastern devait partir quelques jours après pour New-York, et je venais prendre passage à son bord. Voyage d'amateur, rien de plus. Une traversée de l'Atlantique sur ce gigantesque bateau me tentait. Par occasion, je comptais visiter le North-Amérique, mais accessoirement. Le Great-Eastern d'abord. Le pays célébré par Cooper ensuite. En effet, ce steam-ship est un chef-d'oeuvre de construction navale. C'est plus qu'un vaisseau, c'est une ville flottante, un morceau de comté, détaché du sol anglais, qui, après avoir traversé la mer, va se souder au continent américain. Je me figurais cette masse énorme emportée sur les flots, sa lutte contre les vents qu'elle défie, son audace devant la mer impuissante, son indifférence à la lame, sa stabilité au milieu de cet élément qui secoue comme des chaloupes les Warriors et les Solférinos...

Mathias Sandorf est un roman d'aventures de Jules Verne, paru en 1885.Le roman est dédié à titre posthume à Alexandre Dumas père, l'auteur du Comte de Monte-Cristo en 1844. Les deux romans ont des points communs, même s'ils sont bien différents : dans Mathias Sandorf, le nationaliste hongrois éponyme, condamné à mort à la suite d'une tentative de coup d'État ratée, s'évade d'une prison autrichienne, devient riche et se venge des traîtres qui l'ont dénoncé. Malgré sa passion pour ce roman , dans sa préface de 1967 aux éditions Rencontre, Charles-Noel Martin regrette que ses personnages n'aient pas l'épaisseur psychologique des protagonistes du modèle.Résumé : Mathias Sandorf, trahi alors qu'il luttait pour libérer la Hongrie de la domination autrichienne, s'échappe de prison. Il réapparait sous le nom de docteur Antékirtt, possédant des navires électriques lui permettant de traverser la Méditerranée très rapidement, pour accomplir sa vengeance...La meilleure présentation de ce roman est faite par l'auteur, lui-même : «Dans cet ouvrage, j'ai essayé de faire de Mathias Sandorf le Monte-Cristo des VOYAGES EXTRAORDINAIRES.»

"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is a classic science fiction novel by 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. The title refers to the distance travelled while under the sea and not to a depth, as 20,000 leagues is over six times the diameter, and nearly three times the circumference of the Earth. The greatest depth mentioned in the book is four leagues. The book uses metric leagues, which are four kilometres each. A literal translation of the French title would end in the plural "seas", thus implying the "seven seas" through which the characters of the novel travel. 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''s greatest works. Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction.

"A Journey to the Center of the Earth" is an 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. In this edition we include both the translations - the first known by the publisher Griffith & Farran (1871) and second by F. A. Malleson (1877). The Malleson translation is widely regarded as the best translation of this Jules Verne classic and is also the most faithful to the original French masterpiece.

Jules Verne's series of science fiction and adventure tales, the "Extraordinary Journeys," were subtitled "Worlds Known and Unknown," so that is an appropriate title for this volume of the Palik Series, edited by the North American Jules Verne Society and devoted to the author's stories not previously translated for the English-speaking world. Worlds Known and Unknown is an anthology featuring a variety of astonishing shorter works, with background and illustrations chosen from the original engravings that accompanied the first French publication and other historical sources. Beginning with his own adventures, Verne recounts several harrowing balloon ascensions, followed by a ghostly tale, and two satires of evolution-a man leading an army of apes, and a P.T. Barnum-type huckster unearthing a prehistoric human giant in New York! Here also is Verne's stage recreation of a romance between Mona Lisa and Leonardo da Vinci, and a series of fantastic stories by Jules Verne's son and collaborator, Michel Verne.
