The Jules Verne Collection (CD-ROM) [CD-ROM]

Jules Verne (Author), John M. Schaeffer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 1998

Jules Verne (1828-1905) is best known for his science fiction stories, at the time called "tales of imagination", even though he also wrote several historical novels. As one of the first science fiction writers, his novels show the basics of good science fiction - good plot, good characterization, sound science, and good projections of scientific trends.

His ability to project the future of science was remarkable. Among his projections were the modern submarine, television, guided missles, satellites, and the airplane. His accuracy was not only in the invention but in the uses to which they were put.

Includes "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", "Around the World in 80 Days", "From the Earth to the Moon", "A Trip Around It", and "Journey to the Center of the Earth"

This review is from: Jules Verne Collection (Kindle Edition)

this book is lacking in a table of contents so you cannot jump from story to story, you just have to read through. makes it almost impossible to read.

This review is from: The Jules Verne Collection (34 of Jules Verne's classic novels with an active Table of Contents for each piece) (Kindle Edition)

This is a great collection full of great novels! Some I've never even heard of! There were some some minor typos here and there, but nothing too bad that distracts from the story. Also, I'm not sure if the other reviewer is reviewing the right book or not. This book DOES have a table of contents that can link to each book and then each book has its on contents page that links to each chapter. I found it easy to find the table of contents and easy to navigate. All in all a great collection!
