A Journey to the Interior of the Earth
A Journey to the Center of the Earth, also translated as A Journey to the Interior of the Earth, follows a man, his nephew and their guide down an Icelandic volcano into the center of the earth. There they encounter an ancient landscape filled with prehistoric animals and natural dangers. There is some discussion as to whether Verne really believed that such things might be found in the center, or whether he shared the alternate view, expressed by another character in the novel, that it was not so.
Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours
Le roman raconte la course autour du monde d'un gentleman anglais, Phileas Fogg, qui a fait le pari d'y parvenir en 80 jours. Il est accompagné par Jean Passepartout, son serviteur français. L'ensemble du roman est un habile mélange entre récit de voyage (traditionnel pour Jules Verne) et données scientifiques comme celle utilisée pour le rebondissement de la chute du roman. Ce voyage extraordinaire est rendu possible grâce à la révolution des transports qui marque le xixe siècle et les débuts de la révolution industrielle. L'apparition de nouveaux modes de transport (chemin de fer, marine à vapeur) et l'ouverture du canal de Suez en 1869 raccourcissent les distances, ou du moins le temps nécessaire pour les parcourir.

The Pearl of Lima: A Story of True Love
Though best remembered as an early innovator in science fiction who produced such masterworks as Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Jules Verne was a prolific storyteller who explored many genres over the course of his literary career. This classic romance, set in Spanish-controlled Peru, highlights Verne's talent as a first-rate plot craftsman.
