Jules Gabriel Verne (1828 1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages extraordinaires, a series of bestselling adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1872). His novels, always well documented, are generally set in the second half of the 19th century, taking into account the technological advances of the time. Sampson Low, Marston, Searle & Rivington were one of the most prolific publishers of Jules Verne in the English language. They were an "authorized" publisher, being given that title by J Hetzel et Cie. They published numerous editions and sets of Jules Verne books. Author's copyright/illustrated edition.
