Five Weeks in a Balloon , or , Journeys and Discoveries in Africa by Three Englishmen ( French : Cinq semaines en ballon ) is an adventure novel by Jules Verne , published in 1863 . It is the first novel in which he perfected the ingredients of his later work , skillfully mixing a plot full of adventure and twists that hold the reader 's interest with passages of technical , geographic , and historic description . The book gives readers a glimpse of the exploration of Africa , which was still not completely known to Europeans of the time , with explorers traveling all over the continent in search of its secrets . Public interest in fanciful tales of African exploration was at its height , and the book was an instant hit ; it made Verne financially independent and got him a contract with Jules Hetzel 's publishing house , which put out several dozen more works of his for over forty years afterward .

Journey to the Center of the Earth ( French : Voyage au centre de la Terre , also translated under the titles A Journey to the Centre of the Earth and A Journey to the Interior of the Earth ) is an 1864 science fiction novel by Jules Verne . The story involves German professor Otto Lidenbrock who believes there are volcanic tubes going toward the centre of the Earth . He , his nephew Axel , and their guide Hans descend into the Icelandic volcano Snæfellsjökull , encountering many adventures , including prehistoric animals and natural hazards , before eventually coming to the surface again in southern Italy , at the Stromboli volcano . The genre of subterranean fiction already existed long before Verne . However , Journey considerably added to the genre 's popularity and influenced later such writings . For example , Edgar Rice Burroughs explicitly acknowledged Verne 's influence on his own Pellucidar series .

From the Earth to the Moon ( French : De la terre à la lune ) is an 1865 novel by Jules Verne . It tells the story of the Baltimore Gun Club , a post-American Civil War society of weapons enthusiasts , and their attempts to build an enormous Columbiad space gun and launch three people - the Gun Club 's president , his Philadelphian armor-making rival , and a French poet - in a projectile with the goal of a Moon landing . Five years later , Verne wrote a sequel called Around the Moon . The story is also notable in that Verne attempted to do some rough calculations as to the requirements for the cannon and in that , considering the comparative lack of empirical data on the subject at the time , some of his figures are remarkably accurate . However , his scenario turned out to be impractical for safe manned space travel since a much longer barrel would have been required to reach escape velocity while limiting acceleration to survivable limits for the passengers . The character of Michel Ardan , the French member of the party in the novel , was inspired by the real-life photographer Félix Nadar .

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas : A World Tour Underwater ( French : Vingt mille lieues sous les mers : Tour du monde sous-marin ) is a classic science fiction adventure novel by French writer Jules Verne ; it was first published in 1870 . The novel was originally serialized from March 1869 through June 1870 in Pierre-Jules Hetzel 's periodical , the Magasin d'éducation et de récréation . A deluxe octavo edition , published by Hetzel in November 1871 , included 111 illustrations by Alphonse de Neuville and Édouard Riou . The book was widely acclaimed on its release and remains so ; it 's regarded as one of the premiere adventure novels and one of Verne 's greatest works , along with Around the World in Eighty Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth . The presentation of Captain Nemo 's ship , the Nautilus , was considered ahead of its time , as it accurately describes many features of modern submarines , which in the 1860s were comparatively primitive vessels . A model of the French submarine Plongeur ( launched in 1863 ) was displayed at the 1867 Exposition Universelle , where Jules Verne studied it , and it became an inspiration for his novel .

The novel is a crossover sequel to Verne 's famous Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and In Search of the Castaways , though its themes are vastly different from those books . An early draft of the novel , initially rejected by Verne 's publisher and wholly reconceived before publication , was titled Shipwrecked Family : Marooned with Uncle Robinson , seen as indicating the influence of the novels Robinson Crusoe and The Swiss Family Robinson . Verne developed a similar theme in his later novel , Godfrey Morgan ( French : L'École des Robinsons , 1882 ) .

The book has been adapted several times for films , television and cartoon series .

The Begum 's Fortune ( French : Les Cinq cents millions de la Bégum ) , also published as The Begum 's Millions , is an 1879 novel by Jules Verne , with some utopian elements and other elements that seem clearly dystopian . It is noteworthy as the first published book in which Verne was cautionary , and somewhat pessimistic about the development of science and technology . Long after The Begum 's Fortune was published , it came out that its story is based on a manuscript by Paschal Grousset , a Corsican revolutionary who had participated in the Paris Commune and was at the time living in exile in the United States and London . It was bought by Pierre-Jules Hetzel , the publisher of most of Verne 's books . The attribution of plot elements between Grousset 's original text and Verne 's work on it has not been completely defined . Later , Verne worked similarly on two more books by Grousset and published them under his name , before the revolutionary finally got a pardon and was able to return to France and resume publication in his own name . The book first appeared in a hasty and poorly done English translation soon after its publication in French - one of the bad translations considered to have damaged Verne 's reputation in the English-speaking world . W. H. G. Kingston was near death and deeply in debt at the time . His wife , Mrs. A. K. Kingston , who did the translation for him , was certainly otherwise preoccupied than with the accuracy of the text and may have had to rely on outside help . in 2005 a new translation from the French was made by Stanford Luce and published by Wesleyan University . I. O. Evans , in his introduction to his Fitzroy Edition of The Begum 's Fortune , suggested a connection between the creation of artificial satellites in this novel and the publication of The Brick Moon by Edward Everett Hale in 1869 .

The Steam House ( French : La maison à vapeur ) is an 1880 Jules Verne novel recounting the travels of a group of British colonists in the Raj in a wheeled house pulled by a steam-powered mechanical elephant . Verne uses the mechanical house as a plot device to have the reader travel in nineteenth-century India . The descriptions are interspersed with historical information and social commentary . The book takes place in the aftermath of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 against British rule , with the passions and traumas aroused still very much alive among Indians and British alike . An alternate title by which the book was known - The End of Nana Sahib - refers to the appearance in the book of the historical figure - rebel leader Nana Sahib - who disappeared after the crushing of the rebellion , his ultimate fate unknown . Verne offers a fictional explanation to his disappearance .
