El descubrimiento de la Tierra. Grandes viajes y grandes viajeros. Marco Polo. Cristóbal Colón

by Jules Verne, Graciela Isnardi (Traductora), Léon Benett (Ilustrador)

Julio Verne (1828-1905) ha llenado toda una época con singular eficacia. Sus obras describen viajes, pintan mares, ciudades y tierras, y nos muestran mecanismos extraños que la técnica de su siglo no pudo concebir. Fue por esto un precursor que supo mirar el futuro con asombrosa penetración. Pero no era un hombre de ciencia; era un novelista, con su imaginación y su lirismo sin límites. El texto está enriquecido con notables grabados que provienen de la primera edición.

Reviews

[Max Weiss]

I love Jules Verne, but this seems to be just a collection of events from different Adventures. The events are all just told like facts (whih they maybe are) but are not set into a good storytelling. It seems like it is just retold facts without storys.
