De dagen van Glas
De dagen van Glas is het woest meeslepende verhaal van twee bewogen vrouwenlevens, wier paden elkaar kruisen gedurende drie noodlottige dagen ten tijde van het Italiaanse fascisme en het partizanenverzet. Redenta wordt geboren in armoede in 1924, op de dag die het tijdperk van Mussolini inluidt. In haar dorp wordt gefluisterd dat ze het ‘onheil over zich heeft’. Ze beleeft korte momenten van geluk met haar beste vriend Bruno, totdat hij op een dag spoorloos verdwijnt. Op achttienjarige leeftijd wordt ze door haar ouders uitgehuwelijkt aan de eenogige officier ‘Glas’, een sadistische fascist. Ondertussen groeit Iris op in een naburig dorp in betere omstandigheden. Ze vertrekt naar de stad en wordt hopeloos verliefd op de partizaan Diaz, bij wiens verzetsgroep ze zich aansluit. Wanneer ze hoort dat de fascisten haar familie op gruwelijke wijze hebben omgebracht, zint ze op wraak.

Five Weeks in a Balloon
Five Weeks in a Balloon tells the tale of three Englishmen who attempt to cross Africa, from east to west, in a balloon. Dr. Ferguson is the rational scientist leading the trio, accompanied by loyal sidekick Joe and the doctor's sporting friend Kennedy.The three embark on many adventures: They encounter natives and dangerous animals, experience problems with their ballooning technology, and struggle with the winds and the weather. Throughout the novel, the author liberally sprinkles descriptions of flora, fauna, and geography, as seen through nineteenth century eyes.Though this is Verne's first published book, he already demonstrates much of the formula that drive his later works: the well-defined characters led by a rational scientist, the focus on science and technology, and of course the adventure-filled plot.The novel, first published in 1863, was topical for its time, as European interest in African exploration was strong. At the time the book was published, David Livingstone was midst-exploration in south-east Africa, and Burton and Speke had recently returned from exploring the Great Lakes region. The novel itself contains many references to actual expeditions that would have been current or recent for the original readers of the novel.

An Antarctic Mystery
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.

Michael Strogoff
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.

Around the World in Eighty Days
Jules Verne's most-acclaimed novel remains a cultural cornerstone to this day. The story of Phileas Fogg's spectacular journey by then-novel technologies is a fast-paced, colorful, and thoroughly enjoyable portrait of the British empire at the height of its power.Originally published as a serial so believable that readers at the time placed bets on whether Fogg would succeed or not, Verne's adventure epic continues to inspire travelers and adventurers even in modern times.

The Survivors of the Chancellor
Desiring a more romantic crossing of the Atlantic, Englishman J. R. Kazallon decides to forgo a steamship and instead sets sail on the Chancellor, a large three-mast sailing ship. What follows is a classic nautical adventure, told in the form of a series of diary entries and filled with tragedy, suffering, and even horror. Despite the grim subject matter, Jules Verne still finds space to include ample descriptions of geology, biology, and meteorology.
