Verne Stories

Ao decifrar o enigma de um velho pergaminho, o professor Lidenbrock e seu sobrinho, o jovem Áxel, deparam-se com um fascinante desafio: a possibilidade de chegar ao centro da terra seguindo o relato de um cientista do século XII. Vencida a resistência do rapaz -que considerou a idéia "pura imaginação"- os dois partem para o vulcão Sneffels, na remota ilha da Islândia , onde deveria ser iniciada a expedição. Nas entranhas do adormecido vulcão, Lidenbrock, Áxel e o guia local penetraram em uma viagem através dos tempos, permeando universos há muito extintos e outros que só a imaginação pode criar, Nessa jornada rumo ao desconhecido, o francês Júlio Verne expõe um dos aspectos mais interessantes de sua obra: a combinação da liberdade criativa com a exatidão da ciência, Além da historia fabulosa -rica em detalhes- e de seu impressionante embasamento teórico, a narrativa é bem-humorada e repleta de acontecimentos surpreendentes, que fazem de "Viagem ao Centro da Terra" um clássico da literatura universal. ___________________

In 1866, ships of several nations spot a mysterious sea monster, which some suggest is a giant narwhal. The US government assembles an expedition to find and destroy the monster. Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French marine biologist (and narrator within the story) receives a last-minute invitation to join the expedition. As the expedition travels south around Cape Horn into the Pacific Ocean, the crew finds the monster after a long search and then attack it, but the ship is damaged with the three main protagonists thrown into the water. They are quickly captured and then meet the enigmatic Captain Nemo. ~ Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a classic science fiction novel by French writer Jules Verne and was originally published in 1870. The novel was originally serialized between March 1869 and June 1870 in Pierre-Jules Hetzel's periodical, the Magasin d'Éducation et de Récréation. An illustrated edition, published by Hetzel in November 1871, included 111 illustrations by Alphonse de Neuville and Édouard Riou. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is regarded as one of the premiere adventure novels and one of Verne's greatest works, along with Around the World in Eighty Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

I love her. I love him. Does she/he?

FOR EVOLAZAR, thank you for the request! You're so sweet!!! This is based on the COMIC BOOK version of Over The Hedge AKA the original RJ and Verne. They are hibernating in the attic of Nate and Norene's house and Plushie is spending time with them too. Plushie has RJ and Verne decide to spend Christmas. What happens during this is cute.

"Inspired by the great travel literature of centuries past, intrepid TV presenter N. Arraytor and his long-suffering camera crew set off on a spaceship-crashing, budget-busting adventure to visit every planet in the solar system in 80 days... "It's several centuries in the future. Man has finally reached for the stars to explore, discover and exploit our home solar system. With great power comes great responsibility and great deals for budget holidays on Mars! What with space becoming the next package holiday destination and all, there's a wonderful opportunity for mankind to document itself doing one thing that it seems very good at: exploring." This mocumentary is heavily inspired by the writings of two favourite authors of mine, namely Michael Palin and Jules Verne, both who can/could write epic descriptions of life on a journey. Also, a lot of the technology and space ships described in this story are lifted directly from addons for the spaceflight simulator "Orbiter", an amazing piece of software from http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk. Work in progress, I'm pretty busy at the mo', so the guys may be stuck on the moon for a wee while...
