20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Unabridged Classics)
Jules Verne
Sterling, 2006
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 ...

Around the World in Eighty Days (Puffin Classics)
Jules Verne
Puffin, 1995
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 ...

From the Earth to the Moon (Bantam Classics)
Jules Verne
Bantam Classics, 1993
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 ...

Jules Verne
Bantam, 2006
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 ...

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (Scholastic Classics)
Jules Verne
Scholastic Paperbacks, 2003
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 ...

Paris in the Twentieth Century: Jules Verne, The Lost Novel
Jules Verne, Richard Howard
Del Rey, 1997
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 ...
