Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French author best known for his tales of adventure, including Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Around the World in Eighty Days. A true visionary, Verne foresaw the skyscraper, the submarine, and the airplane, among many other inventions, and is now regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction.

I love Jules Verne, read his books since I was a kid. I read most of them, now pleasantly surprised there is some more! Jules Verne has an incredible imagination, he is a well educated author, his books are loaded with good scientific background.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sadly, the two novels I wanted to read are not in English
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2020

Wanted to read The Lighthouse at the End of the World, and The Chase of the Golden Meteor - which are included in this collection. However, both are in French instead of English. And add to that, according to the introduction to each of those stories - these are the versions that were rewritten by Verne's son.

16 of the novels included in this collection are in French. Many of those I was interested in reading.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware! The word “complete” is not entirely true.
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2019
I bought this to then discover that some of the stories, such as “The Lighthouse at the End of the World,” are in their native French language only. Apparently they don’t own the rights to the English language editions. I returned it for a refund.

Nothing to say which people don't already know. But just a helpful spoiler alert - I mainly bought this collection for the 'Barsaac Mission' story, which, to my utter dismay, ended up to be in French language. It seems some copyright issue prevents its translation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, mais.....
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 16, 2012

No author appeals to everyone, but if you like Jules Verne, this excellent book contains all his novels, short stories, poetry, plays and non-fiction. It is a massive book. Amazon are not joking when they warn of a longer than usual download time.
If you are not sure about JV, try one or more of the freebies, and find out why JV is so highly regarded.
Although I have read quite a lot, I have only scratched the surface, but so far I am impressed. The English is stylish and does not read like a translation, the illustrations are appropriate. The text seems fuller than elsewhere - before Around the Moon, there is a note that it is a sequel to From the Earth to the Moon.
Mais, there always is a mais, sixteen of the novels, the poetry and plays are still in the original French. That still leaves you with 50 novels etc - and a chance to practise your French.
Very very rarely is
there an error in the typesetting,
but not enough to spoil the flow or reduce the pleasure.
Some of his attitudes would be unacceptable today - some would classify him as a racist, but he was a man of his time. It is worth noting that while traversing Africa, he has one his characters point out that some of the unpleasant actions they observe are closely mirrored much closer to home.
In spite of the minor problems listed, I see no reason not to award the full five stars. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 20, 2013

I have long been familiar with the better known works of Jules Verne. This has given me the opportunity to enjoy some the rest. The collection is well organised, with contents list that takes you to individual books. A few are in the original French (a note says that when they are translated into English they will be made available as updates to the collection) and my French reading ability does not allow me to follow them, but this is a small matter given the enormous quantity to read in the collection.
As it will take me some time to read any great number of the books, I cannot comment on the accuracy of the presentation.
