Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift Great classic by preeminent prose satirist of the English language, written with disarming simplicity and careful attention to detail. An enchanting fantasy for children; for adults, a witty parody of political life in Swift's time.
From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne, Edward Roth Written a century before the Apollo flights, Verne's eerily prophetic classic recounts the tale of a lunar excursion by three Civil War vets — with often-humorous results! Includes 17 illustrations.
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, Philip Schuyler Allen The "man who invented the future," Verne created the prototype for modern science fiction. His prophetic 1870 adventure novel, featuring a bizarre underwater craft commanded by the mysterious Captain Nemo, predated the submarine.
The Count of Monte Cristo: Abridged Edition by Alexandre Dumas Falsely accused of treason, Edmond Dantès is imprisoned in the bleak Chateau d'If. After a hair-raising escape, he launches an elaborate plot to extract a bitter revenge against those who betrayed him.
A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs In this landmark novel by the creator of Tarzan, Civil War veteran John Carter is transported to the red planet, where he must elude giant green barbarians to rescue a princess. Fantasy, adventure, and science fiction combined.
Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne A geology professor mounts an expedition into a subterranean world — a living past that holds the secrets to the origins of human existence. Jules Verne's 19th-century action classic proves the journey is as significant as the destination.
The White Company by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle This spirited account of the exploits of a crew of Saxon archers during the Hundred Years War features cameo appearances by historical figures such as Edward III and the Black Prince.
The First Men in the Moon by H. G. Wells In this 1901 classic, Wells's "first men in the moon" practice lunar locomotion, get lost in a moon jungle, and confront intelligent life in lunar caverns. A delightful tale that still stirs the imagination.
The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells Imaginative, highly readable account of hostile invaders from Mars who use deadly heat rays to decimate all life in their path. Energetic, intense, and strikingly original.
The Time Machine by H. G. Wells Classic science-fiction novel recounts the adventures of a hypothetical Time-Traveler who journeys into the future. Offering fascinating food for thought about the future, it also succeeds as an exciting blend of adventure and pseudo-scientific romance.
