The goal of the Voyages was to outline the geographical, geological, physical, and astronomical knowledge amassed by science and to recount, in an entertaining format. Verne's attention to detail coupled with his sense of wonder form the backbone of the Voyages. In Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea we travel in the submarine Nautilus. The crew cut off any relationship with the nations and with humanity. They live only on what the sea gives them - food, the raw material they need for the production of electricity. Around the World in Eighty Days tells the journey of an aristocrate and his employee who, motivated by a bet, try to go around the world with limited time and resources. It was the most popular of Verne's Voyages extraordinaires series of novels. From the Earth to the Moon tells the story of attempts to catapult a manned projectile onto the Moon. It is curious that some of Verne's calculations, in spite of the lack of empirical data, are quite accurate. This is one of many books in the series 3 Books To Know.

Autorenporträt

Born in Nantes, France, in 1828, Jules Verne pursued a writing career after finishing law school. He hit his stride after meeting publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel, who nurtured many of the works that would comprise the author's Voyages Extraordinaires. Often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction," Verne wrote books about a variety of innovations and technological advancements years before they were practical realities. Although he died in 1905, his works continued to be published well after his death, and he became the second most translated author in the world.
