Jules Verne: Voyage au centre de la Terre
" Le 24 mai 1863, un dimanche, mon oncle, le professeur Lidenbrock, revint précipitamment vers sa petite maison située au numéro 19 de König-strasse, l'une des plus anciennes rues du vieux quartier de Hambourg. " " Voyage au centre de la Terre " est un roman d'aventures, écrit en 1864 par Jules Verne. Le roman traite de la découverte d'un manuscrit runique ancien par un savant allemand qui, avec son neveu et leur guide, entreprennent un voyage vers le centre de la Terre en y entrant par un volcan islandais éteint, le Sneffels (c'est-à-dire le Snæfellsjökull).
Jules Verne - Journey to the Center of the Earth
"Scientific arguments alone could have any weight with Professor Liedenbrock. Now there were good ones against the practicability of such a journey. Penetrate to the center of the earth! What nonsense! But I kept my dialectic battery in reserve for a suitable opportunity, and I interested myself in the prospect of my dinner, which was not yet forthcoming." "Journey to the Center of the Earth" by Jules Verne is a classic of early science fiction. It is full of wonderful imagery and colour for the imagination.

Jules Verne: Die Reise zum Mittelpunkt der Erde
Handlung: Der Hamburger Professor Lidenbrock hat in einem Buchladen einen unschätzbaren Fund gemacht, eine uralte isländische Fürstengeschichte. Während er es aufgeregt seinem Neffen Axel zeigt, fällt ein rätselhaftes Pergament aus dem Buch, bekritzelt mit Runen:
Aber die alt-isländischen Schriftzeichen lassen sich nicht so einfach übersetzen. Der Name «Arne Saknussemm» auf der Rückseite, der ein berühmter isländischer Gelehrter des 16. Jahrhunderts war, gibt einen Hinweis. Tagelang arbeitet der Professor an der Dechiffrierung. Schließlich zeigt sich der Inhalt der Botschaft: "Steig hinab in den Krater des Sneffels Yocul, welchen der Schatten des Skartaris vor dem ersten Juli liebkoset, kühner Wanderer, und Du wirst zum Mittelpunkt der Erde gelangen. Das habe ich vollbracht. – Arne Saknussemm."
Lidenbrock und Axel sind elektrisiert. Sie packen in aller Eile Koffer und Ausrüstungsgegenstände, und brechen auf, nach Island. Ziel: Der Mittelpunkt der Erde, auf den Spuren von Arne Saknussemm. So beginnt die ungewöhnlichste Expedition der Abenteuerliteratur.
From the Earth to the Moon
"From the Earth to the Moon" (French: «De la terre à la lune») is an 1865 novel by Jules Verne. It tells the story of the Baltimore Gun Club, a post-American Civil War society of weapons aficionados, and their attempts to build an enormous sky-facing Columbiad space gun and launch three people – the Gun Club's president, his Philadelphian armor-making rival, and a French poet – in a projectile with the goal of a moon landing.
The story is also notable in that Verne attempted to do some rough calculations as to the requirements for the cannon and, considering the comparative lack of any data on the subject at the time, some of his figures are surprisingly close to reality. However, his scenario turned out to be impractical for safe manned space travel since a much longer muzzle would have been required to reach escape velocity while limiting acceleration to survivable limits for the passengers.
The character of Michel Ardan, the French poet in the novel, was inspired by the real-life photographer Félix Nadar.
Five Weeks in a Balloon
"Five Weeks in a Balloon, or, Journeys and Discoveries in Africa by Three Englishmen" (French: «Cinq semaines en ballon») is an adventure novel by Jules Verne.
It is the first Verne novel in which he perfected the «ingredients» of his later work, skillfully mixing a plot full of adventure and twists that hold the reader's interest with passages of technical, geographic, and historic description. The book gives readers a glimpse of the exploration of Africa, which was still not completely known to Europeans of the time, with explorers traveling all over the continent in search of its secrets.
Public interest in fanciful tales of African exploration was at its height, and the book was an instant hit; it made Verne financially independent and got him a contract with Jules Hetzel's publishing house, which put out several dozen more works of his for over forty years afterward.
A Journey to the Centre of the Earth
"Journey to the Center of the Earth" (French: «Voyage au centre de la Terre», also translated under the titles «A Journey to the Centre of the Earth» and «A Journey to the Interior of the Earth») is a classic 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.
From a scientific point of view, this story has not aged quite as well as other Verne stories, since most of his ideas about what the interior of the Earth contains have since been disproved, but it still manages to captivate audiences when regarded as a classic fantasy novel.
In Search of the Castaways; or Captain Grant's Children
"In Search of the Castaways" (French: «Les Enfants du capitaine Grant», lit. «The Children of Captain Grant») is a novel by the French writer Jules Verne, published in 1867–1868. The original edition, published by Hetzel, contains a number of illustrations by Édouard Riou. In 1876 it was republished by George Routledge & Sons as a three volume set titled «A Voyage Round The World». The three volumes were subtitled «South America», «Australia», and «New Zealand». (As often with Verne, English translations have appeared under different names; another edition has the overall title «Captain Grant's Children» and has two volumes subtitled «The Mysterious Document» and «Among the Cannibals».)
