A hook: Discover a frigid frontier where courage, curiosity, and peril collide on the edge of the world. The English At The North Pole returns Jules Verne's extraordinary voyage tradition to modern readers with a renewed vigour. This edition preserves the brisk, panoramic energy of a nineteenth century arctic voyage while letting contemporary readers feel the pulse of a classic adventure novel in a fresh, accessible voice. It unfolds like a map of the mind as much as the map of the world, inviting you into a victorian era voyage fiction that is at once thrilling and thoughtful. The tale's blend of sea voyage journeys, pole exploration peril, and scientific curiosity makes it a study companion for readers who savour both brisk plotting and audacious imagination. Historically significant and culturally resonant, this work anchors polar exploration fiction in a moment when science, empire, and imagination intersected. It is a landmark in victorian arctic setting and nineteenth century arctic storytelling, reverberating with themes of ambition, endurance, and the unknown. For casual readers, it delivers fast-paced adventure; for collectors, it offers a collectible literature edition that promises lasting value. This edition is more than a reprint - it is restored for today's and future generations, a rare, illustrated adventure edition that stands as a cultural treasure. Out of print for decades, it returns to fuel curiosity and inspiration for readers and scholars alike.
Autorenporträt
Jules Gabriel Verne (1828 - 1905) was a French novelist, poet and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction. Verne was born to bourgeois parents in the seaport of Nantes, where he was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the profession early in life to write for magazines and the stage. His 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).
