About this audiobook
The Greatest Works of Jules Verne: 25 Books in One Volume (Illustrated) gathers the essential achievements of a writer who helped define modern adventure and scientific romance. Bringing together voyages under the sea, through the air, across continents, into the Earth, and toward the moon, the volume reveals Verne's distinctive fusion of narrative propulsion, technical curiosity, geographical precision, and moral inquiry. Enhanced by illustrations, it situates his fiction within the nineteenth-century context of exploration, industrial invention, imperial expansion, and popular serial literature. Jules Verne (1828–1905), born in Nantes and educated in law before turning to letters, drew deeply on the scientific optimism and anxieties of his age. Though not a scientist himself, he was an assiduous reader of contemporary discoveries and travel accounts, transforming research into imaginative journeys. His partnership with publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel shaped the Voyages extraordinaires, a project intended to educate and entertain while dramatizing humanity's ambitions and limits. This collection is recommended for readers seeking both literary pleasure and historical breadth. It offers an ideal introduction to Verne's imagination while rewarding specialists interested in the origins of science fiction, adventure narrative, and the cultural dreams of modernity.
