The Short Stories of Jules Verne

In his lifetime Verne wrote dozens of novels, many of which are well known ("From the Earth to the Moon," "20,000 Leagues Under the Seas," "Around the World in Eighty Days," Etc.) while many others are not ("Off On a Comet," "The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras," Etc.).
In addition to his novels he also wrote numerous short stories, some for publication in the magazines of the day and others to be published in small, inexpensive editions.
Not to mention his plays. So we won't mention them except to say that one is included in this collection.
This book is a small collection of a few of his shorter works-ones that have been translated into English-and are presented not as prime examples of the man's work but as historical documents. They are:
In The Year 2889, A Voyage In a Balloon, Measuring a MEridian, The Pearl of Lima, Mr. Chimpanzee (a play) Dr. Triflegas: A Fantastic Tale, and An Express Of The Future.
Enjoy!
