"De la Terre à la Lune" et "Autour de la Lune" sont désormais sortis de leur cadre premier de "récits extraordinaires" et de science-fiction, pour faire figure d'ouvrages prophétiques. Entraînant d'autres chimères et d'autres rêves (tel le fameux film de Méliès le "Voyage dans la Lune" de 1902), ils ont permis aux utopies de devenir des réalités. Aujourd'hui leur pouvoir d'évocation, cette poésie digne d'un rêve éveillé, nous pousse toujours plus loin vers le territoire d'autres aventures inespérées.

"De la Terre à la Lune", c'est la folle aventure de trois hommes projetés, à la suite d'un pari d'artilleurs, dans un gigantesque obus transformé en wagon-lit en direction de la Lune. Mais c'est sans compter les météorites, l'attraction terrestre et les mystères de la mathématique spatiale.

Phileas Fogg schließt mit den Mitgliedern seines vornehmen Londoner Klubs eine ungewöhnliche Wette ab: In 80 Tagen will er um die Welt reisen. Sollte er verlieren, steht sein Vermögen auf dem Spiel. An Bord von Dampfschiffen, mit der Eisenbahn, auf Elefantenrücken und mit Segelschlitten wird die Reise zu einem großen Abenteuer.

When a volcano suddenly seems to erupt and threaten a mountain town of North Carolina, Inspector Strock is sent to determine the danger. When an automobile race in Wisconsin is interrupted by the unexpected appearance of a vehicle traveling at many times the top speed of the entrants, Strock is again consulted. And when an odd-shaped boat is sighted moving at impossible speeds off the New England coast, Stock and his boss begin to wonder if the incidents are related.

During the Civil War, five Union soldiers and a dog quietly escape from the clutches of the Confederate Army at Richmond, Virginia by hot air balloon. Their intention was to simply drift safely over to the Union lines and rejoin their own troops. Instead, while aloft, they were caught in a high wind and whisked hundreds of miles out to sea. The men carried no provisions for survival and had no idea where they were. Under those circumstances their future was bleak. Worse yet, the balloon was leaking air and slowly deflating.

Questo libro appartiene a quel genere di romanzi di Verne che, più che libri di fantascienza,sono taccuini di viaggio. Una trama avventurosa (si parla di caccia alla tigre, di una vendetta all'ultimo sangue fra un indiano e un inglese) fa da trait d'union al vero protagonista del libro, che è il viaggio nellIndia del nord, partendo da Calcutta ed arrivando alle pendici dell'Himalaya. Il tutto a bordo di una fantastica casa a vapore a forma di elefante! La storia della sanguinosa insurrezione dei Cipay è il presupposto da cui si sviluppa la trama....

Die Kinder des Kapitäns Grant, einer der längsten Jules Verne-Romane, ist zugleich eines der spannendsten und vielschichtigsten Werke des "Vaters der Science Fiction". Die atemberaubende Suche Lord Glenarvans nach dem verschollenen Kapitän Grant ist eine Weltreise voller Abenteuer, dramatischer Wendungen und wunderbarer Rettungen. Wie so oft in Jules Vernes Werken erfahren wir aber auch hier eine ganze Menge über die Flora und Fauna Patagoniens, Südamerikas und Australiens.

Avec "Les Indes noires", Jules Verne développe une histoire fantastique qui plonge ses racines dans l'histoire de la Révolution industrielle, en Ecosse, au XIXème siècle. Phénomènes mystérieux, apparitions, réouverture après la découverte d'un filon d'une extrême richesse, la mine d'Aberfoyle est décidemment bien étrange.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a classic in which Verne prophesized many modern uses of the submarine.

Over the years there have been many film, TV, and theatrical adaptations and variations of the book.

"Around the World in Eighty Days" (French: "Le tour du monde en quatre vingts jours") is a classic adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, first published in 1873. In the story, Phileas Fogg of London and his newly employed French valet Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a 320,000 pounds wager (equal to 31,324,289 pounds today) set by his friends at the Reform Club. It is one of Verne's most acclaimed works.

The story begins in Hamburg, 1863. The brilliant Professor Lidenbrock, inspired by an ancient, encoded manuscript, impetuously decides to take his reluctant nephew Axel on a seemingly insane mission: to travel down volcanic tunnels to the very center of the earth.

Die Meere um Kap Horn, nun ja, die stehen verdientermaßen in schlechtem Ansehen. Daß man die Schiffbrüche an diesen Küsten gar nicht mehr richtig zählt, und daß Seeräuber sich gar kein besseres Feld für ihre verbrecherische Tätigkeit wählen können, das will ich auch ohne Widerrede zugeben. Alles das wird sich aber ändern, Felipe!

"Es ist keiner unter Ihnen, wackere Collegen, der nicht den Mond gesehen, oder mindestens von ihm sprechen gehört hätte. Vielleicht ist's uns vorbehalten, für diese unbekannte Welt die Rolle des Columbus zu spielen. Unterstützen Sie mich mit allen Kräften, so will ich Sie führen, diese Eroberung zu machen."

After translating an ancient runic manuscript, he claims to have discovered a route that would allow a man to reach the center of the Earth, by descending into a volcano. Accompanied by his nephew, Axel, and a guide named Hans, they travel down the Icelandic volcano where they encounter many dangers, including prehistoric animals. Their journey is ultimately cut short when the three are put in a dangerous situation that may result not only in the end of the adventure, but also the end of their lives!

During the year 1866, ships of several nations spot a mysterious sea monster, which some suggest to be a giant narwhal. The United States government assembles an expedition in New York City to find and destroy the monster. Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French marine biologist and narrator of the story, who happens to be in New York at the time, receives a last-minute invitation to join the expedition which he accepts. Canadian whaler and master harpoonist Ned Land and Aronnax's faithful servant Conseil are also brought aboard.

This is a classic adventure tale set far down in the briny deep. Captain Nemo hunts the terrifying and mysterious monster that has already wrecked ships which disturbed its slumber. A scary, illuminating, and exciting listen for all ages, this story has achieved almost mythical status, and Jules Verne's great writing style makes the truly unbelievable seem entirely feasible: and utterly absorbing.
