    Journey to the Center of the Earth

    A classic science fiction novel by French writer Jules Verne, this work is one of the most well-known subterranean fictions to this day. 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.

    Les Révoltés de la Bounty

    Texte à corriger : "Les Révoltés de la Bounty" de Jules Verne est une œuvre qui plonge le lecteur dans l'histoire fascinante et tumultueuse de la mutinerie sur le navire britannique HMS Bounty. Publié en 1879, ce récit s'inspire d'événements réels survenus à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Le roman commence par l'abandon du capitaine William Bligh et de ses fidèles compagnons en pleine mer, après que l'équipage, mené par Fletcher Christian, se soit révolté. Le capitaine Bligh, malgré les conditions désespérées, parvient à naviguer avec succès jusqu'à Timor, démontrant un changement et une compétence exceptionnels. Le récit se poursuit avec le sort des mutins, qui cherchent à échapper à la justice britannique. Ils s'installent sur l'île de Pitcairn, où ils espèrent vivre en paix. Cependant, les tensions internes et les conflits avec les indigènes rendent leur existence difficile. Verne explore les thèmes de la loyauté, de la justice et des conséquences des actions humaines, tout en offrant une réflexion sur la nature humaine et les défis de la survie dans des conditions extrêmes. À travers une narration fluide et des descriptions détaillées, Verne réussit à capturer l'essence de cette aventure maritime, tout en offrant une analyse progressive des motivations et des dilemmes moraux des personnages impliqués. "Les Révoltés de la Bounty" est ainsi une œuvre qui allie aventure, drame humain et réflexion philosophique.

    Verne Dawson: To hear a story to its end

    Through his chimerical landscapes, Dawson collapses prehistoric, ancient and modern human history into folkloric tableaux Engaging ancient knowledge systems as well as the long history of direct painting, Alabama-born artist Verne Dawson (born 1955) depicts imagined futures and forgotten pasts. In billowing, gestural marks that often evanesce into abstraction, and working from both observation and memory, the artist contends with subjects including the cyclicality of time, fairy tales and folklore, Ice Age symbolism, astronomy and the emergence and destruction of the natural world, ultimately revealing their interconnectedness. Dawson's paintings, Jennifer Krasinski writes, "call upon viewers to practice a quality of depth perception to see what other wisdoms are stowed inside of symbolic orders and archetypes, popular objects and classic genres—and to better apprehend all that is known of this world and those that spin alongside it." The selected paintings in this richly illustrated volume span from 1985 to 2024.
