His style and subject matter shaped Science Fiction into the genre we now know. Verne led the way, and his amazing tales still delight us today.ááThe North American Jules Verne Society is pleased to present its first-ever anthology of short stories, written by a select group of modern authors, inspired by classics like Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Around the World in Eighty Days, as well as VerneâÇÖs many other works.ááWhat secrets await a salvage team raising the Nautilus, and who else wants that submarine?áWhat really happened when Nellie Bly met Jules Verne during her 1889 trip around the world?áOn the front lines of World War I, did a steam-powered mechanical elephant join the fray?ááThe Baltimore Gun Club wouldnâÇÖt try to alter EarthâÇÖs rotational speed-would they?áWhat if your son recreated a thrilling chapter of 20,000 Leagues in your house?áWhat is so odd, very odd, about a particular shop full of Vernian antiques?ááMysterious beings dwell at the center of the Earth, but might they take revenge on the surface?áVerneâÇÖs spirit and imagination remain vibrant and relevant today.áHis voyages continue in Extraordinary Visions.áá
