Au contraire ! Nous descendons ! — Pis que cela, monsieur Cyrus ! Nous tombons ! — Pour Dieu !

Extrait : "Une obscurité profonde enveloppe la plupart des grandes découvertes qui ont accompli dans l''humanité plus qu''un progrès, une révolution, une transformation. L''antiquité avait imaginé à cet égard une explication fort simple et surtout fort ingénieuse. Dans l''impossibilité de déterminer à quelles époques telle invention s''était produite, à quels hommes on en était redevable, on coupait court à toutes difficultés en faisant intervenir les divinités."À PROPOS DES ÉDITIONS LIGARAN : Les éditions LIGARAN proposent des versions numériques de grands classiques de la littérature ainsi que des livres rares, dans les domaines suivants : ● Fiction : roman, poésie, théâtre, jeunesse, policier, libertin. ● Non fiction : histoire, essais, biographies, pratiques.

Il est coupé depuis hier. – D''heure en heure, général, fais passer un télégramme à Tomsk, et que l''on le tienne au courant. – Oui, sire, » répondit le général Kissoff.

Extrait : "Lorsqu''un navire s''éloigne des côtes, il ne tarde pas à se trouver isolé entre la mer vaste, sans rives, et le ciel qui s''appuie de tous côtés sur la plaine monotone des eaux. Il marche, les nuages marchent au-dessus de lui, l''eau se meut au-dessous en courants très irréguliers. Dans cette agitation universelle, comment le marin saura-t-il reconnaître la route qu''il a suivie et la position qu''il occupe sur l''immense étendue des océans ?

Verne''s story describes a trip on the "Great Eastern," from Liverpool to New York, and a journey afterwards up the Hudson and to the Falls of Niagara. The descriptive parts of the story are free from Verne''s well-known peculiarities, and therefore seem tame coming from his pen ; but in making " the floating city" the scene of a dramatic love story, he is all himself again—particularly at the end, where the hero engages in a duel on deck in the night during a frightful storm, and his antagonist catches the lightning on his uplifted sword and is killed, thus saving the hero from the unpleasantness of killing tbe husband of the woman he loves.

This book travesties in Jules Verne''s inimitable and fascinating style the numerous ponderous books of African travel and adventure. In thrilling interest it surpasses them all, while the illustrations with which the book is crowded are so graphic that the story itself may almost be read by them, and without going through the text.

In the Mysterious Island Jules Verne offers to the lovers of the wonderful in literature his most elaborate, attractive, and instructive work. The escape of the voyagers from Richmond in their stolen balloon, and their wreck upon an Island in the Indian Ocean, are incidents in the career of Mr. Verne''s heroes which have been made familiar to all readers of magazine literature; but the elaborately ingenious methods by which they wrested from this uninhabited island the means of subsistence, and the appliances through which they effected their deliverance, exhibit a wonderfully accurate knowledge of the capabilities of science. Briefly, the "Mysterious Island" is a new Robinson Crusoe, with all the modern improvements.

There were few countries which were so full of interest to the world as was Russia. In laying the scene of this story in this great empire, Jules Verne seems to have aimed to gratify his readers. A revolt in some of the remoter provinces makes it necessary for the Czar to communicate with his brother, the Grand Duke, at Irkutsk. Michael Strogoff, one of the corps of the couriers of the Czar, is selected for the dangerous service. His marvelous coolness, prudence, and courage are constantly and thoroughly tested in the course of his perilous journey, but atlast he falls into the hands of the insurgents. The story of his thrilling adventures is related with such vivid power as to make it seem like an actual narrative, while the descriptions of the country, of the people, and of their customs are evidently the result of actual study and close observation.

The same wonderful power of describing the marvellous so as to make it seem reality, that ever distinguishes the works of Jules Verne from the writings of all other authors of fiction is displayed to its full extent in The Underground City. An adventure classic and a must-read.
