This colossal collection of 51 complete books and stories from the pen of Jules Verne includes multiple translations for several of the books. All of the books are in English. The ability to easily read from multiple versions is especially useful for fans of Verne. Many of his translators made subjective changes for religious and cultural motives. For example, it is interesting to compare the versions written by European translators versus American ones. Themes that were controversial in one culture, were not in the other.

Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before people invented navigable aircraft and practical submarines and devised any means of spacecraft. He ranks behind Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie as the second most translated author of all time. People made his prominent films. People often refer to Verne alongside Herbert George Wells as the "father of science fiction."
