«La Magellanie, un territoire situé en Terre de Feu, à l'extrême sud du continent américain. Un dédale d'îlots et de récifs balayés par les vents. C'est le domaine du Kaw-djer, un être énigmatique qui a fui la compagnie des hommes par amour de la liberté. La Magellanie, c'est aussi la terre des naufrages. Une nuit de 1881, un quatre-mâts où ont pris place un millier d'immigrants menace de se briser sur les récifs. Le Kaw-djer décide de leur venir en aide. Il ignore qu'il va devoir affronter, pire que les éléments déchaînés, la violence, la jalousie et l'ingratitude humaine... Ce roman «réécrit» par Michel, le fils de Jules Verne, paraît en 1909 sous le titre «Les naufragés du Jonathan». Les archives de l'éditeur Hetzel permettent de découvrir aujourd'hui, dans sa version initiale, l'un des ultimes chefs-d'œuvre du grand écrivain, tout à la fois roman d'aventures et parabole philosophique et politique.» |

Considered one the classic science-fiction novels, Journey to the Centre of the Earth celebrates 150 years since its first publication. What lies at the centre of our Earth? When Axel helps his uncle Professor Lidenbrock to decipher a cryptic ancient manuscript that purports to chart this very journey, he is thrust upon an epic adventure. They set off from Germany to Iceland, where, with their guide Hans, they descend a volcano, braced for unimaginable phenomena. Nothing, however, could prepare them for the world beneath. With rapid pace and remarkable detail, Journey to the Centre of the Earth reflects the increasingly enlightened world of the nineteenth century, which resonates strongly with today's ever growing scientific worldview. |

French naturalist Dr Aronnax embarks on an expedition to hunt down a sea monster, only to discover instead the Nautilus, a self-contained world built by its enigmatic captain. Together Nemo and Aronnax explore the underwater marvels, undergo a transcendent experience amongst the ruins of Atlantis, and plant a black flag at the South Pole. But Nemo's mission is one of revenge — and his methods coldly efficient. Verne's classic work has left a profound mark on the twentieth century. Its themes are universal, is style humorous and grandiose, its construction masterly. This new and unabridged translation by the father of Verne studies brilliantly conveys the novel's tones and range. It appears with a distinguished Introduction and Notes, reporting the very first study of the manuscripts, together with revelations about the artistic and scientific references.

In Hamburg, Germany, Professor Otto Lidenbrock comes home with an old Icelandic book. In it there is a message about a journey to the centre of the Earth. This is the beginning of one of Jules Vernes most exciting stories. Is this message true? We must go to Iceland and see! says Lidenbrock excitedly. But his nephew, Axel, wants to stay at home. Can Lidenbrock and Axel and their Icelandic guide, Hans find the centre of the Earth? And can they all get home alive after their many underground adventures? |

Journey to the Centre of the Earth has been consistently praised for its style and its vision of the world. It explores the prehistory of the globe, but can also be read as a psychological quest, for the journey itself is as important as arrival or discovery. Professor Lidenbrock and his nephew Axel travel across Iceland, and then down through an extinct crater towards a sunless sea where they enter a living past and are confronted with the origins of man. A classic of nineteenth-century French literature, the novel's distinctive combination of realism and Romanticism has marked figures as diverse as Sartre and Tournier, Mark Twain and Conan Doyle. This new translation of the complete text is faithful to the lyricism, verve, and humour of the original. |
