Download As PDF : The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras Jules Verne Books
Jules Verne (1828-1905) is one of the most recognizable names in Western literature, coming to be known as one of the Fathers of Science-Fiction. Although he studied to be a lawyer and held stock trading jobs, he quickly learned that he had a knack for weaving adventurous stories of travels and expeditions. It didn’t hurt that one of his teachers may have been inventor Brutus de Villeroi, who created the first submarine for the U.S. Navy. Verne wrote about air travel and space travel 50 years before either was possible.
The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras Jules Verne Books
All and all I enjoyed another of Jules Verne's novels, however I must say it was a slow start.I almost stopped reading it as it was moving too slowly and wasn't making sense in the beginning.
I didn't understand the purpose of the voyage nor why all the secrecy but as the story unfolded
it became evident. Still though, for one to want to continue reading the author better establish a reason
why I should keep reading and develop some rapport with the characters. Otherwise if I don't bond with the characters,
why should I care?
Well, there was a turning point in the story when I just couldn't put the book down and I felt like I abandoned
the characters until I picked up the book again. Then I didn't want it to end and I am so glad I stuck with it through the beginning.
I don't want to give anything away, but as one reads Jules Verne's books, one will notice a running theme with his main character. Could this character be non other than Monsieur Verne himself?

The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras Jules Verne Books Reviews
Exiting book with unexpected turns.
This book was great and everything that I expect from this particular author was evident in this book. My favorite character had to be the Frenchman.
This is one of those must reads. It is one of those books that is fun, easy, and well worth the time. Some of Verne at his best.
Clever scientific descriptions of life and events in a harsh environment. Simply a good read by a timeless author. Duke, good dog.
This editing had description for illustrations but no illustrations were included. I read the two volume editions instead. Begin with Englishmen at the pole.
If you like a good story of adventure (the old fashioned kind), when men were men then this is a story for you! Not to spoil any of the tale, but a bunch of sailors sign up for an unknown voyage under a mysterious captain - and only the bravest, hardiest, and determined will make it back alive.
I loved it and intend to read more Jules Verne.
More steampunk than steampunk, a Victorian sci-fi adventure deep into unknown space! Yes, the details of the pole is wrong, because no one had been there yet. But a rousing tale of arctic adventure that leaves you in the edge of your seat until the conclusion!
