There are no unusual birds, mysterious figures and other things in the same spirit. But there are Antarctic seas, such as they were known at the end of the 19th century. There are several people who have decided to challenge the cold and the elements and penetrate the unknown. Someone has a kindred feeling, someone – friendship, someone – curiosity, and someone – and a thirst for profit. But they were all aboard the schooner Halbrain, which, under the command of Captain Len Gai, moves south through ice and storm.

Niektórzy z mieszkańców często zbliżali się do krawędzi studni, służącej jako wejście do kopalni węgla, ale nikt z nich nie miał odwagi wejść do podziemi. Powiadano bowiem, że od chwili, kiedy kopacz wstępuje w koszyk zawieszony nad przepaścią, w którym spuszcza się do wnętrza kopalni, życie jego znajduje się w ciągłym niebezpieczeństwie.

L'Archipel en feu est un roman historique de Jules Verne, paru en 1884. Le récit se déroule sur fond de lutte entre Grecs et Turcs dans les îles de la mer Égée, dans les années 1820. L’Archipel en feu est publié au moment où Jules Verne aborde un tournant dans son inspiration. Après le voyage lunaire, le tour du monde sous-marin ou en quatre-vingts jours, quelles autres intrigues «technologiques» inventer ? Verne se rabat donc sur l'exotisme et le romantisme.

The science fiction story describes the adventures of three friends: the founder of the Cannon Club, Impi Barbicane, captain Nicolas and the daredevil Michel Ardan. Travelers make a five-day flight around the satellite of our planet, spending time in scientific disputes and discussions and sharing important guesses and observations with each other. At the very beginning of the novel, Barbican states: „Well, algebra is the same tool as a plow or plow, and a tool very useful for those who know how to handle it.” Perhaps the words of one of the main characters of the work reflect the idea of ​​the book: having knowledge in one area or another and knowing how to apply it correctly, a person can fly to the Moon, explore Mars or Venus, and calculate the latitude and longitude of any geographical object.

Around the World in Eighty Days (French: Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours) is an adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, published in 1873. In the story, Phileas Fogg of London and his newly employed French valet Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a £20,000 wager set by his friends at the Reform Club. It is one of Verne's most acclaimed works.

The story starts in London on Wednesday, 2 October 1872.

Phileas Fogg is a rich British gentleman living in solitude. Despite his wealth, Fogg lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision. Very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club, where he spends much of every day. Having dismissed his former valet, James Forster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 °F (29 °C) instead of 86 °F (30 °C), Fogg hires Frenchman Jean Passepartout as a replacement.

At the Reform Club, Fogg gets involved in an argument over an article in The Daily Telegraph stating that with the opening of a new railway section in India, it is now possible to travel around the world in 80 days.

Famous works of the author Jules Verne: Twenty Thousand Leagues, Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, Around the World in Eighty Days, The Mysterious Island, Five Weeks in a Balloon, Michael Strogoff, Off on a Comet, Robur the Conqueror, An Antarctic Mystery, Master of the Worldand many more.

The hero of the novel, Phileas Fogg, made a bet that he would be able to circumnavigate the globe from west to east in no more than 80 days, given the technical capabilities of 19th century transport. Fogg’s journey begins in England, and then he goes to France, Italy, Egypt, India, China, Japan and America. In India, Fogg and his servant, Jean Passepartout, save the beautiful Audu, who is about to be burned alive with the body of her late husband. Subsequently, she becomes Fogg’s wife. Detective Fix fixes the journey: the police are convinced that it was Fogg who stole a large sum from the Bank of England, and betting is an opportunity to evade punishment.

Les voyageurs effectuent un vol de cinq jours autour d’un satellite de notre planète, passant du temps à des débats et discussions scientifiques et partageant entre eux d’importantes conjectures et observations.

Après avoir reçu des nouvelles du début de la guerre entre la Russie et la Grande-Bretagne, l’expédition s’est scindée en deux parties: russe et anglaise, qui poursuivent leurs recherches séparément. Les Britanniques se retrouvent à l’ombre de Macolo, une tribu célèbre pour ses vols. Cependant, ils ne suivent pas seulement le groupe de scientifiques anglais, mais aussi le russe. Ces voyous d’Afrique du Sud attaquent l’expédition russe et assiègent le mont Scorsef, sur lequel les Russes sont fixés.
