An Antarctic Mystery follows Mr. Jeorling, a wealthy American naturalist whose research has led him to the remote Kerguelen Islands, located in the southern Indian Ocean. Jeorling begins his adventure on the Halbrane after being admitted aboard by the reluctant captain Len Guy, who believes the events in The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym to be true. In that novel, Pym persuades Len Guy¿s brother, William Guy, to lead a voyage to the Antarctic. But the expedition ends in failure when William Guy, his crew, and his ship, the Jane, disappear under mysterious circumstances. Captain Len Guy convinces Jeorling to aid in the search for his brother, and the two embark on an expedition south to the Antarctic in search of the previous voyage¿s survivors.Despite the fact that Jules Verne¿s work was published over fifty years after Pym, the events in the novel take place only one year after the disappearance of the Jane.

Jules Verne is perhaps best known for his science fiction stories, and Michael Strogoff breaks that mold. It¿s a true-to-life tale of the titular character¿s journey across Siberia to deliver an important message to the brother of the Russian Czar.Like other of Verne¿s works, Strogoff encounters many colorful characters along the way, and together they create a vivid depiction of the harsh life in Russo-Siberia, as well as the resilient spirit of its inhabitants. The attention to detail and the accuracy of both the physical and geographical depictions of Siberia was noted by contemporaries, though it¿s also said that Verne took some dramatic license in recreating some of the historical events.Contemporary critics agreed that Michael Strogoff is a thrilling tale of the strength of men, of patriotism, and of the devotion of one human being to another. Modern critics consider it to be one of Verne¿s best novels.

It inspired many similar works and adaptations. First published in 1864 in French as Voyage au centre de la Terre, it was quickly translated to English by several different publishers in the 1870s. The current edition was based on the translation by Frederick Amadeus Malleson that was published by Ward Lock & Co Ltd. in 1877.Our protagonist is Axel, whose overcautious and unadventurous spirit contrasts with that of his uncle Professor Otto Lidenbrock, an eccentric professor of geology. When Professor Lidenbrock obtains a mysterious runic-coded note in the manuscript of an Icelandic saga, he is determined to decipher it. Axel inadvertently solves the code and, much to his chagrin, discovers that it is a set of directions left by a sixteenth-century Icelandic alchemist to reach the center of the earth via the volcano Snæfelljökull. Reluctantly, Axel joins his uncle on a trip to Iceland, and with the aid of a local guide, Hans, begins an adventure towards the center of the earth, where they will encounter giant mushrooms and insects, an island with an enormous geyser, and battle pre-historic reptiles. One of Verne¿s most well-known works, this novel is a testament to Verne¿s love of geology, science, and cryptography.

El domingo 24 de mayo de 1863, mi tío, el profesor Lidenbrock, regresó precipitadamente a su casa, situada en el número 19 de la König-strasse, una de las calles más antiguas del barrio viejo de Hamburgo. Marta, su excelente criada, se azaró de un modo extraordinario, creyendo que se había retrasado, pues apenas si empezaba a cocer la comida en el hornillo. «Bueno» pensé para mí, «si mi tío viene con hambre, se va a armar la de San Quintín porque dificulto que haya un hombre de menos paciencia». ¿¡Tan temprano y ya está aquí el señor Lidenbrock! ¿exclamó la pobre Marta, llena de estupefacción, entreabriendo la puerta del comedor. ¿Sí, Marta; pero tú no tienes la culpa de que la comida no esté lista todavía, porque aún no son las dos. Acaba de dar la media en San Miguel. ¿¿Y por qué ha venido tan pronto el señor Lidenbrock? ¿Él nos lo explicará, probablemente. ¿¡Ahí viene! Yo me escapo. Señor Axel, hágale entrar en razón. Y la excelente Marta se marchó presurosa a su laboratorio culinario, quedándome yo solo.

Aquel hombre estaba solo en la oscuridad de la noche. Caminaba con paso de lobo entre los bloques de hielo almacenados por los fríos de un largo invierno. Su pantalón fuerte, su khalot, especie de caftán rugoso de piel de vaca, su gorra con las orejeras bajas, apenas le defendían del viento. Dolorosas grietas resquebrajaban sus labios y sus manos. Los sabañones mortificaban sus dedos. Andaba a través de la oscuridad profunda, bajo un cielo cubierto de nubes bajas que amenazaban con copiosa nevada, a pesar de que la época en que comienza este relato era los primeros días de abril, si bien a la elevada latitud de 58 grados. Se obstinaba en seguir andando. Después de una parada, tal vez se viera imposibilitado de continuar su marcha.

¡Pam! ¡Pam!Ambos tiros partieron casi a un tiempo. Y una vaca que pasaba a cincuenta pasos de distancia recibió una de las balas, a pesar que nada tenía que ver con la cuestión.Afortunadamente los dos adversarios resultaron ilesos.¿Pero quiénes eran aquellos dos caballeros? Se ignora y, sin embargo, hubiera sido aquélla una ocasión sin duda de guardar sus nombres para la posteridad. Todo cuanto se sabe es que el de más edad era inglés, y el otro, norteamericano. Lo que era fácil de indicar es el sitio en que el inofensivo rumiante había comido su último manojo de hierba. Era en la orilla derecha del Niágara, cerca de ese puente colgante que une la orilla de los Estados Unidos con la orilla canadiense, a unas tres millas más arriba de las cataratas.El inglés se acercó entonces al americano y le dijo: - ¡Sigo sosteniendo - ¡No! ¡Era YankeeLa disputa iba a interpuso; sin duda, enque era el Rule Britannia! Doodle!- replicó el otro.comenzar de nuevo, cuando uno de los testigos se interés del ganado, y dijo:- Supongamos que era el Rule Doodle y el Yankee Britannia, y vamos a almorzar.

El 13 de octubre de 1960, una parte de la población de París se reunía en las numerosas estaciones del ferrocarril metropolitano, y se dirigía por los distintos ramales hacia el antiguo emplazamiento del Campo de Marte. Era el día de la distribución de premios en la Sociedad General de Crédito Instruccional, enorme establecimiento de educación pública. Su excelencia, el Ministro de Embellecimientos de París, debía presidir la ceremonia. La Sociedad General de Crédito Instruccional reflejaba perfectamente las tendencias industriales del siglo: lo que cien años antes se llamaba "progreso", había conseguido un desarrollo inmenso. El monopolio, ese non plus ultra de la perfección, tenía en sus garras al país entero; se multiplicaban las sociedades, se fusionaban, se organizaban; habrían asombrado a nuestros padres por sus inesperados resultados. No faltaba el dinero. Los ferrocarriles habían pasado de manos particulares a las del Estado. Abundaban los capitales y más aún los capitalistas a la caza de operaciones financieras o de negocios industriales.
