This volume presents the complete works of Jules Vernes (47 novels.) Jules Gabriel Verne (1828 – 1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. Verne's collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne is generally considered a major literary author in France and most of Europe, where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. Verne has been the second most-translated author in the world since 1979, ranking between Agatha Christie and William Shakespeare. He has sometimes been called the "Father of Science Fiction", a title that has also been given to H. G. Wells, Mary Shelley, and Hugo Gernsback.

Plongée dans l'époque des révolutions du XVIIIe siècle en Ardenne belge 1789. 1790. 1792. Les tourmentes révolutionnaires n’épargnent ni l’Ardenne, ni l’ancien duché de Bouillon. La neige. Le froid. La faim. La misère. La guerre. Dans leur fuite pour rejoindre l’Armée des Princes, des émigrés français abandonnent un enfant de quelques mois. Emmailloté dans la pelisse sanguinolente d’une louve abattue devant ses louveteaux, il devra la vie au bon vouloir de modestes paysans, Joseph et Louise Jamet. On le baptisera François-Noël, et on ajoutera « Raison » à ses prénoms parce que, là-bas aussi, on croit à l’avènement de la liberté par la république. La ville et les anciennes paroisses du duché passent convulsivement de l’ancien régime à celui du Département des Forêts. Il faut survivre. La vie du gamin est partagée entre, d’une part, l’acharnement des malheurs qui s’abattent sur sa famille adoptive et d’autre part l’éveil de sa sensibilité aux choses de la nature, de sa personnalité mystérieusement marquée par le destin. À l’écoute de la vie sauvage, il se sent fort proche des animaux, et particulièrement des loups. Une rencontre intense entre l'Homme et l'animal dans les forêts d'antan... A PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Romancier et auteur de nouvelles, Jules Boulard est diplômée de philologie romane. Aujourd'hui retraité, il fut professeur de latin, grec, français et histoire dans plusieurs établissements scolaires de Wallonie. Il est également membre de la Société des poètes français. EXTRAIT C'était encore une sorte de demi-sommeil, quelque part à mi-chemin entre cauchemar et réalité. La neige était tombée toute la nuit. Mais sous les branches basses du sapin où il s'était réfugié, elle n'avait pas plus d'épaisseur qu'un linceul. Partout ailleurs, elle s'accumulait déjà, contraignant les arbustes, courbant jusqu'au sol genêts et fougères. La forêt s'éveillait avec peine, surprise, toujours silencieuse, comme pour retenir un vague et lointain reste de chaleur, ou alors... peut-être était-ce parce qu'elle n'attendait qu'un signe ? Or, le jour ne venait qu'à pas feutrés.

EDIZIONE REVISIONATA 05/09/2017. “I figli del capitano Grant” è un romanzo di avventura che costituisce la prima parte di una trilogia, seguito da “Ventimila leghe sotto i mari” e conclusa con "L"isola misteriosa". L’esordio del romanzo tratta di una gita marittima su uno yacht in cui i coniugi Glenarvan catturano uno squalo nel cui stomaco trovano una bottiglia con dei fogli all’interno. L’autore di questi è il capitano scozzese Grant il quale richiede un’aiuto dopo il naufragio della nave Britannia. Lord Glenarvan dopo aver decifrato il messaggio che consiste nella collocazione in cui era naufragata la nave, decide di partire alla ricerca del capitano Grant, portando con sé, oltre il proprio equipaggio, il cugino, due ragazzi: i figli del capitano scomparso e un clandestino, geografo francese, personaggio buffo e sconclusionato. È appunto lui che decifrando i frammenti ritrovati, suppone che il naufragio sia avvenuto in Patagonia. Ed ancora quest"ultimo che durante il viaggio dà un’altra interpretazione ai documenti rinvenuti, e li fa dirigere verso l’Australia e nell"Oceano Pacifico. Dopo varie vicissitudini, quando ormai i nostri protagonisti hanno perso le speranze, accade l’imprevisto.
Euphorie (lateinisch euphoria) bezeichnet eine vorübergehende, subjektiv wahrgenommene überschwängliche Gemütsverfassung. Sie geht meist einher mit allgemeiner Hochstimmung, einem Lebensgefühl größten Wohlbefindens, gesteigerter Lebensfreude, sorgloser Zuversicht und Optimismus. Eine Liebesgeschichte zwischen zwei Menschen aus völlig verschiedenen Welten. Auch wenn alles gut zu sein scheint stellt sich nach einiger Zeit des gemeinsamen Lebens dann doch die Frage: Halte ich den Druck stand? Bekommen wir das auf die Reihe? Oder ist die vergangene Zeit doch nur ein Moment der Euphorie gewesen?
