Product Description
Classic novel. According to Wikipedia: “Jules Gabriel Verne (February 8, 1828-March 24, 1905) was a French leader who pioneered the science-fiction genre. He is best known for novels such as Journey to the Center of the Planet (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before air travel and practical submarines were invented, and before practical means of space travel had been devised. He is the third most translated leader in the world, according to Pointer Translationum. Some of his books have been made into films. Verne, along with H. G. Wells, is regularly popularly referred to as the “Father of Science Fiction”

This is one of his less known works, but WELL worth reading! Its a darn excellent book, the Amazon descriptions are incredible, but there is a fantastic mystery too boot!
Amusing thing about fantastic foreign writers, Verne was French, but most of us grew up thinking of him as American, (sadly I admit I did). It’s simple to, watching the ancient movies on TV, or new movies, all in English with US actors. And of course all the wonderful books we grew up with were in English. I hope that is considered a compliment as to his power and success, as he was just as enormously well loved in France, and is the founding father of science fiction with perhaps with H.G. Wells. Verne’s tales, written for all ages, caught the enterprising spirit of the 19th century and its innocent fascination about scientific progress and inventions. Perhaps some today are not so innocent of science, but persons who still have adventure in their soul, who long for the stars and the space program, will like all of Verne’s works.
Delight in!

I know that most of us have read or heard of Captain Nemo, and 80 Days, etc, but this is a different book of Vernes and one I really loved. It has all the fundamentals of a excellent yarn, travel in treacherous places, the Amazon river, trains, boats, villains, and fantastic characters.
If you like Verne, and have not read this, you will like it!

I have read most of Verne’s science fiction, and loved each of them – so I selected this up wondering if I’d like it…..WOW, what a fantastic summer adventure read! The tale takes you back to a time when not every place on the planet has been explored, so this trip on the Amazon is appealing in and of itself, but the added intrigue, deep dark secrets, thrilling side plots make this book so excellent, that any Verne lover will want to read it. I loved this new edition too.
Fantastic book for the summer – or anytime!

Now that I have read the additional reviews, I don’t know what to add, except to say this is a book typically missed by the more well known Verne books, which is sad, because even though its not science fiction, its a really, really fantastic adventure with many twists and a very intriguing villain. Verne could really write, and he stands the test of time, if you are thinking adventure, forget this was written 100 years ago, its really worth your money, and you’ll have read a book few people have, and you will be much better for it!
