Product Description
Product Description
Writing in France in the nineteenth century, Jules Verne was fascinated by adventure and exploration. Collecting Five Weeks in a Balloon, Around the World in Eighty Days, A Journey to the Center of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, Round the Moon, Twenty-Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and The Mysterious Island, this omnibus offers a unique compilation of seven of Vernes Voyages, stories in which he extrapolated developing technology and invention into marvellous fiction. This volume offers readers a generous introduction to Jules Verne, whose books are as alive today as they were for readers new to the ideas expressed in them during his time. This edition of the text is exquisitely bound in bonded-leather, with distinctive gilt edging and an attractive silk-ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectable, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for any home library.

My mum and dad gave me this for christmas, I was so happy! I had wanted to get the works of Jules Verne, but I was not expecting this... It is a visually stunning book, a very nice weight to it! I will treasure it always. I cannot recomment this enough, I will buy more for myself! I have a kindle, so when I get books I want them to be special - like this!

I've been after a book that compliments my collection of modern classics, I have hardbacks by Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams as well as other classics from H.G. Wells, Tolkien, Homer and the Brothers Grim :) Missing was Jules Verne and when I saw this bound one I knew it would fit in well.
It looks fantastic with my others on our bookshelves and is a pleasure to read.
If your still reading this review you already know this a book you want and it wont disappoint it feels great to the touch and reminds you of what a book should be. A bit to heavy to be chucked in a bag and lugged about but then that's intentional, it deserves to be read in the same room it is shelved in and enjoyed. Easily earns its 5-Star rating!!!
