Jules Verne

A sea monster has set off all the alarms and an expedition is organized to capture the creature. The professors on the mission are surprised to find that the sea monster is a submarine under the command of Captain Nemo. The arrival of these professors and their assistants poses a difficulty for Captain Nemo, as he must keep his secret safe. Un monstruo marino ha puesto en marcha todas las alarmas. Se organiza una expediciÓn para capturarlo, en la que figuran el cÉlebre profesor de Historia Natural, Pierre Aronnax, su ayudante, Conseil, y el experto arponero canadiense, Ned Land, a bordo de la fragata estadounidense Abraham Lincoln. El monstruo resulta ser un sorprendente submarino a las Órdenes del capitÁn Nemo, y el hecho de que deba mantener el secreto plantea un grave problema al capitÁn en cuanto a la liberaciÓn de los tres personajes principales. El capitÁn Nemo, el sabio atormentado y desengaÑado de la raza humana, se ha convertido en uno de los paradigmas de la novela de aventuras y su presencia alcanza para justificar el lugar de honor que ocupa Veinte mil leguas de viaje submarino en el gÉnero.

Med sin nydanande stil och sitt intresse för det mänskliga psykets skuggsidor har Edgar Allan Poe varit en inflytelserik föregångar till såväl symbolister, naturalister och modernister i litteraturhistorien. Han kan dessutom sägas vara skaparen av science fiction- och detektivgenrerna. I denna volym samlas texter om Poe av fem författare ur världshistorien, som alla, om än på radikalt olika sätt, tagit intryck av hans egenartade och varierande författarskap: Charles Baudelaire, Fjodor Dostojevskij, Jules Verne, George Bernard Shaw och D. H. Lawrence. Lars Nyberg, översättare av Baudelaire, Rilke och Xenofon med flera, ger i en initierad inledning en bakgrund till den ofta motsägelsefulla receptionen av Poes författarskap och belyser de skiftande aspekterna i de impulser Poe givit sina efterföljare.

Following Sterling's spectacularly successful launch of its children's classic novels (240,000 books in print to date), comes a dazzling new series: Classic Starts. The stories are unabridged and have been rewritten for younger audiences. Classic Starts treats the world's beloved tales (and children) with the respect they deserve. Jules Verne's classic science fiction fantasy carries its hero--Professor Aronnax of the Museum of Paris--on a thrilling and dangerous journey far below the waves to see what creatures live in the ocean's depths. In the process, Verne imagined a vessel that had not yet been invented: the submarine.
