THE MAN who held in his hand the document of which this strange assemblage of letters formed the concluding paragraph remained for some moments lost in thought.   It contained about a hundred of these lines, with the letters at even distances, and undivided into words. It seemed to have been written many years before, and time had already laid his tawny finger on the sheet of good stout paper which was covered with the hieroglyphics.   On what principle had these letters been arranged? He who held the paper was alone able to tell. With such cipher language it is as with the locks of some of our iron safes—in either case the protection is the same. The combinations which they lead to can be counted by millions, and no calculator's life would suffice to express them. Some particular "word" has to be known before the lock of the safe will act, and some "cipher" is necessary before that cryptogram can be read. [...]

Eight Hundred Leagues On The Amazon

An Antarctic Mystery is a novel by Jules Verne and is a response to Edgar Allan Poe's novel The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. It follows the adventures of the narrator and his journey from the Kerguelen Islands aboard Halbrane.  The narrator is a wealthy American Jeorling, who has entertained himself with private studies of the wildlife on the Kerguelen Islands and is now looking for a passage back to the USA. Halbrane is one of the first ships to arrive at Kerguelen.  Underway, they meet a stray iceberg with a dead body on it, which turns out to be a sailor from Jane. A note found with him indicates that he and several others including Jane's captain William Guy had survived the assassination attempt at Tsalal and are still alive.

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

Mathias Sandorf est un roman d'aventures de Jules Verne, paru en 1885. On ne s'échappe pas du donjon de Pisino dont les murs plongent dans un abîme. Et pourtant, cette évasion impossible, elle va être tentée par le comte Mathias Sandorf, patriote hongrois, condamné à mort par les Autrichiens. Avec un compagnon de captivité, Mathias Sandorf parvient à desceller un barreau de sa cellule, et tous deux commencent à descendre le long de la tige du paratonnerre. Mais l'orage éclate, la foudre frappe, et les deux évadés tombent dans le torrent furieux qui roule au fond de la gorge... Quinze ans plus tard, un mystérieux personnage arrive à Raguse à bord de son yacht... Qui est-il ? Que veut-il? Brusquement tout un tragique passé revient au jour. Les traîtres qui ont livré Mathias Sandorf et ses compagnons n'auront plus un instant de repos.  Le roman est dédié à titre posthume à Alexandre Dumas père, l'auteur du Comte de Monte-Cristo en 1844. Les deux romans ont des points communs, même s'ils sont bien différents: le nationaliste hongrois Mathias Sandorf s'évade d'une prison autrichienne, devient riche et se venge des différentes personnes dont il a été victime.
