Synopsis

Jules Verne's "The Greatest Adventure Books of All Time - Jules Verne Collection" encapsulates the author's pioneering spirit in science fiction and adventure literature. This compilation features classic tales such as "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," characterized by Verne's unique blend of vivid imagination and meticulous scientific detail. Written during the late 19th century, a time rife with advancements in exploration and technology, the collection engages readers with intricate plots that are both thrilling and educational, laying the groundwork for modern speculative fiction. Jules Verne, often hailed as one of the fathers of science fiction, was born in 1828 in France. His early affinity for literature and science was influenced by his familial background and the radical changes in science and technology occurring during his lifetime. Verne's resolve to explore uncharted territories through literature emerges from both his fascination with the possibilities of mankind and a deep commentary on the human condition in relation to the wonders of nature and invention. For readers of adventure and speculative fiction, this collection is an essential gateway into Verne's ingenious mind and his lasting impact on literature. These stories not only entertain but also inspire curiosity about the unknown, making it a must-read for any literature enthusiast.

    Getting pregnant in college wasn't part of the plan, but I'll never regret giving birth to the best part of me. A fresh start in a small town seems like a good idea, until a handsome stranger shows me a little kindness and has me feeling things, I thought I'd never feel again . . . things I have no business feeling about a man I just met.

    From the moment Stella rolled into town, she's had my attention. Since that moment, I've been determined to befriend the sexy single mom who's down on her luck. Stella has fallen on hard times, but something tells me she'll never take a handout. That doesn't mean I'm not going to try to help, so of course I put in a good word to get her a job. She's smart enough to know I had a hand in it, but that's what friends are for, right? 
     
     
     
    With each day that passes, Stella becomes more than just a friend. She's my best friend—who I apparently can't keep my hands off. She's worried we're complicating things, but screw that. Blurred lines or not, I ask her to stay anyway.

    These new, recent, and reformulated stories by Joyce Carol Oates showcase a wide range of crime fiction and psychological suspense. A young, insecure woman finds her relationship changing as she grows more and more dependent on a man who likes to take her on long walks beside a dangerously roaring creek. Another woman, nervous around men, not quite knowing how to act when paid a compliment, becomes flustered when a doctor suggests they go out for coffee, or possibly a drink. She finally decides that she will join him when he suggests they meet at his home. A man is so forgetful that his wife panics and yells into his phone, asking where their daughter has gone. A young man is curious to see why sirens have filled the night and the police arrest him, beginning an unimaginable nightmare. A woman resents that a colleague has achieved greater success and thinks she ought to do something about it. 
     
     
     
    It is impossible to know where a story by the creative genius of Joyce Carol Oates will end and what frightening paths will lead to that end.

    Four centuries in the future, the world is rich—nanomachines watch the health of the wealthy and manufacture food and gadgets for everybody—but no utopia, as we see in the lives of five very different people: a singing teacher, a news researcher, a police investigator, a politician, and a ruthless businessman. 
     
     
     
    Theirs is a society where technology takes care of everyone's basic needs but leaves most people struggling to extract a meaningful life from a world crowded with wonders but empty of commitment and human connection. Alternating the voices and experiences of these five characters in a tour de force of imaginative creation, L. E. Modesitt overlaps, combines, and builds their disparate stories into a brilliant tale of future crime and investigation, esthetic challenge, and personal triumph. 
     
     
     
    In the same way that he has built fantasy landscapes of surpassing fascination, Modesitt creates a believable future, one imbued with a deep understanding of the way politics work and how people act and react when their sense of themselves, of justice, and truth, is exploited by others for power and control. When there's nothing left to need or want, will beauty live on in people's lives or disappear forever?
