Le professeur Lidenbrock, un scientifique excentrique, découvre un manuscrit crypté révélant l'existence, en Islande, d'un passage menant au centre de la terre. Accompagné de son neveu Axel, le narrateur, et d'un guide islandais, Hans, il organise une expedition dans les entrailles terrestres, qui se revele etre une plongee dans le passe. Apres de nombreuses peripeties, les trois hommes decouvrent un monde perdu : une caverne contenant plantes, poissons et animaux prehistoriques, dont certains restent bien vivants. Dans ce livre plus qu'ailleurs, Verne laisse libre cours a son imagination. Voyage au centre de la terre (publie en 1864 et 1867) anticipe de maniere jubilatoire le moment fatidique ou la terre sera entierement cartographiee, y compris dans ses profondeurs. L'auteur y exprime son desir d'exploration mais aussi son reve d'un ailleurs inexplore.

Chiltern Publishing creates the most beautiful editions of the Worlds finest literature. Your favorite classic titles in a way you have never seen them before; the tactile layers, fine details and beautiful colors of these remarkable covers make these titles feel extra special and will look striking on any shelf.Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is one of Mark Twain's best-known and most important novels. The novel tells the story of Huckleberry Finn's escape from his alcoholic and abusive father and Huck's adventurous journey down the Mississippi River together with the runaway slave Jim.

Specially bound paperback edition, with deckle-edging (rough-cut) pages and French flaps. The first great adventure story in the Western canon, The Odyssey is a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty and power; about marriage, family and identity; and about travellers, hospitality and the changing meanings of home in a strange world. This vivid new translation-the first by a woman-matches the number of lines in the Greek original, striding at Homer's sprightly pace. Emily Wilson employs elemental, resonant language and an iambic pentameter to produce a translation with an enchanting "rhythm and rumble" that avoids proclaiming its own grandeur. An engrossing tale told in a compelling new voice that allows contemporary readers to luxuriate in Homer's descriptions and similes and to thrill at the tension and excitement of its hero's adventures, Wilson recaptures what is "epic" about this wellspring of world literature
