Recommended as a faithful translation
If you are looking for a English translation of JTTCOTE that is faithful to Verne's French one, this one (and a couple others) has been recommended to me by members of the North American Jules Verne Society ([...]). Verne has been poorly translated since the novels were first published and he has received unfair reviews based on those poor translations. I think we owe it to this brilliant man to ...

Verne as prophet rather than novelist
This was a long-lost Manuscript of Verne's; it was his second science fiction novel and one of his most pessimistic (probably because he had not yet achieved his full success in life). It was never fleshed out into a full length novel due to its lack of commercial prospects (his publisher rightly assumed that people were looking for more positive views of the future in his day, just as his ...

Its hard to top a good round-the-world-on-a-bet story
"The Whole Story" edition, with marginal notes and photos to describe the story. The graphics don't always add much to the story, but never detract from the simple, straightforward telling of this round-the-world-on-a-bet story. Just enough drama, comedy, and love interest to keep the story moving at a crackling pace, without ever sidetracking the reader from the basic 80-day timetable that ...

One of the Great Works
Who would have thought that a major contribution to the world of literature would come out of the Naval Institute Press! Normally, they come out with things like "An Illustrated Design History of the United States Destroyer." I'm not casting any aspersions on such a volume, and I may own a copy or two. But Jules Verne, is an a class by himself as one of the great inventive masters of ...

An old fashioned tale that doesn't offend
Bram Stoker's "Dracula" was first published in 1897, and as one reads this work, it is overwhelmingly apparent that it was written during a time when morals and virtues were held in a much higher regard than they are today. The book is comprised primarily of various journal entries from six main characters. Two of these main characters are remarkable women, possessed of lofty talent and high ...

The Kip Brothers (Early Classics of Science Fiction)
Jules Verne
Wesleyan
, 2007
Castaways on a barren island in the South Seas, Karl and Pieter Kip are rescued by the brig James Cook. After helping to quell an onboard mutiny, however, they suddenly find themselves accused and convicted of the captain's murder. In this story, one of his last Voyages Extraordinaires, Verne interweaves an exciting exploration of the South Pacific with a tale of judicial error reminiscent of the infamous Dreyfus Affair. This Wesleyan edition ...

Good quality Kindle transcription
There are a number of low-cost Kindle editions of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Unfortunately the transcription quality varies, with one suffering from lots of spurious line-breaks and another suffering from awkward not-quite-in-place footnotes. After reviewing three samples, I went with this one. The only weakness I've noticed is that there is no table of contents, but that isn't a major ...

Not a Content Review
As I have not read the book yet, I cannot rate the content. I am reviewing this book solely on the quality at this point. If you are looking for a heavily illustrated book, it is not. There are maybe less than ten illustrations on quick count. However, the illustrations provided are quite nice. The binding appears to be a strong cardboard with a cloth-like finish. The book itself is composed ...

A Science Fiction Classic
Jules Verne, the father of science fiction, made several predictions that came true in this book. The book is exciting from cover to cover. It deserves more credit than it seems to be getting. It was written over one hundred years ago. I would recommend this book to any science fiction fan. Danny Fleming, author of How to Prove The Collatz Conjecture.
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea

One of the great masters of science fiction, Jules Verne's boundless imagination took his readers into the center of the Earth and to the far reaches of the galaxy years before such travels could actually be attempted.

Not quite as good as the original, but good enough to be recommended
I am strongly in favor of the classics being read in their original form. However, I also know that time marches on and new readers are easier to attract if the language is altered into a more modern form. This book is profusely illustrated and the language has been reasonably altered. Therefore, the story is well presented and as unchanged from the original as possible. However, there is one ...

sequel to Poe's novel
I haven't read this yet, but I thought people might like to know that this is a sequel to the only novel of Edgar Allen Poe. H.P. Lovecraft also wrote a sequel and so, in his way, did Rudy Rucker. The rating is how I feel about Verne in general (I've read some 40 or so books of his) and because this system won't accept a review without a rating.

A Wondrous Adventure!
Note: Your "helpful" votes are appreciated. Thanks To escape the Civil War, some men steal a hot-air balloon, and caught in a huge storm, they finally land, of course, near a "mysterious island." I saw the movie fifty years ago as a child, and later read the novel. The images have stayed with me all these years. What a debt we owe to Jules Verne for taking us so many fantastic places! As ...
