England 1862: Dr. Fergusson og to venner starter på en dristig og farefuld færd for at krydse det afrikanske kontinent i luftballon for at finde Nilens kilder.Fem uger i ballon, Jules Vernes’ klassiker fra 1874, er i denne udgave oversat og bearbejdet af Arne Herløv Petersen."Fortællingen er frisk, underfundig, fuld af herlige hændelser og kendetegnet ved mange af de træk, som i øvrigt karakteriserer forfatterskabet: en solid, alvidende fortæller, en farlig natur, en ide- og evnerig hovedperson, en loyal og kæk ven og en trofast tjener. Hertil kommer primitive vilde uden sans for videnskabens skønhed, men heldigvis har Fergusson ballast om bord, så han kan lette gondolen og stige op over spydenes og pilenes rækkevidde."- Niels Vestergaard, Forfatterweb/iBureauet

Prompted by disturbing reports of an enormous sea monster, marine biologist Pierre Aronnax joins an expedition to find and destroy it. After barely surviving an attack on the creature, the voyagers discover that their quarry is in fact a remarkably advanced submarine, the Nautilus. Its creator, Captain Nemo, is driven by a thirst for knowledge and by a hatred of civilization—and he refuses to let his “guests” leave. As Aronnax and his companions plot to escape, they are taken on a whirlwind tour of undersea marvels, including volcanoes, a giant squid, and the ruins of Atlantis. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is just as gripping and fantastical a read as it was a century and a half ago, when Jules Verne first imagined traveling beyond the bounds of the possible.

Written almost a century before the daring flights of the astronauts, Jules Verne's prophetic novel of man's race to the stars is a classic adventure tale enlivened by broad satire and scientific acumen. When the members of the elite Baltimore Gun Club find themselves lacking any urgent assignments at the close of the Civil War, their president, Impey Barbicane, proposes that they build a gun big enough to launch a rocket to the moon. But when Barbicane's adversary places a huge wager that the project will fail and a daring volunteer elevates the mission to a "manned” flight, one man's dream turns into an international space race. A story of rip-roaring action, humor, and wild imagination, From the Earth to the Moon is as uncanny in its accuracy and as filled with authentic detail and startling immediacy as Verne's timeless masterpieces 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in Eighty Days.

A group of men escape imprisonment during the American Civil War by stealing a balloon. Blown across the world, they are air-wrecked on a remote desert island.
