The Short Stories of Jules Verne - 3

Beschreibung

This third collection of some of Jules Verne's shorter stories contains several gems. They range from a dramatic tale taking place in old Mexico, a story about an armament manufacturer and his fortune, some monkey business, a visit to a utopian city and a previously unpublished story attributed to J. Verne. The book contains: ¿ The Begum's Fortune ¿ A Drama in Mexico ¿ Gil Braltar ¿ An ideal City ¿ The Claims Against The Female Driver Most of these have restored illustrations from either their original publications, or subsequent re-printings. These have been carefully cleaned and balanced so they may be enjoyed. A couple do not seem to have been previously translated, or when they were, entire chapters were omitted. Who knows why, but we have restored them where we could find more complete French versions.

Autor

Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French novelist, playwright, and poet who is best known for his enduring tales of adventure and discovery that include Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days. Verne's books about a variety of innovations and technological advancements-including the submarine, space travel, terrestrial flight and deep-sea exploration-years before they were practical realities, laid much of the foundation of modern science fiction. One of the most prolific, famous French novelists of all time, Verne has been the second most-translated author in the world since 1979, ranking between Agatha Christie and William Shakespeare.
