Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This Halcyon Classics ebook collection contains 36 of Jules Verne's best known works. Verne (1828-1905) was a French writer who, along with English author H.G. Wells, is regarded as the "Father of Science Fiction." He is best known for his novels A JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH (1864), FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON (1865), 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA (1869–1870), A JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (1871) AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS (1873) and THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (1875). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before navigable aircraft and practical submarines were invented, and before any means of space travel had been devised. A number of his works have been made into feature films and his books remain popular and in print more than a century after his death.

This ebook is DRM free and includes an active table of contents for easy navigation.

I couldn't believe it when I bought 36 works by Jules Verne for a few dollars for my iPod. I thought I'd be lucky if I got some poorly scanned and OCRed stuff but this is top quality! I'm maybe half way through the first book (20,000 leagues...) and there are no OCR errors.

Then I found out I can read these books on my PC too and it auto-syncs with my iPod. I really love this Kindle app, so much that I'm thinking about getting a Kindle.

Simply fantastic if you like classic science-ficton as I do.

P.S. I recommend having Google Earth running as you read 20,000 leagues under the sea - it's really cool to type the coordinates in and see where the author is taking you. You enter coordinates in the form dd mm'ss" N/S, dd mm'ss" E/W. Remember that Jules Verne is using a Paris meridian which is 2 degrees 21' East of Greenwich.

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible read for all ages, September 10, 2010

I have known about the author, Jules Verne, and read his books since I was about 10 years old. Due to life's uncertainties, I lost the small collection I had. Now, nearly 30 years later, with my Kindle in hand, I did not hesitate to buy this collection of 36 books (although his collected works have more than 70) and for the price it had. I really recommend it, go for it!

For me, Jules Verne, is one of the greatest authors of all time. His stories are timeless, they are as fresh today as they were the day they were written. They can be catalogued as science fiction, adventure or plain fiction, it doesn't matter, the stories can be read by anyone, of any age, with interest.

If you want to find stories for your children which are both interesting and educational, this is one of the authors to choose. If, on the other hand, you want a story for yourself, which is imaginative, fast tracking, this is also an author for you.

I hope that they will complete the collection!

Note: this collection does have a "Table of Contents", you just have to access it through the cover page.

The contents page is on the cover. You won't have to vainly search for the start of each book. With that out of the way, why havn't you bought this one yet?
