Publisher's Synopsis
This is the second collection of the shorter stories of Jules Verne. In this volume five tales ranging from the short to novella-length are presented to give a wide variety of his works. This collection is not unique as it was first published in 1887 under the title of A Winter Amid The ice. That is also the title of one of the stories. The others are: -Dr. Ox's Experiment -Master Zacharius -A Drama In The Air -A Winter Amid the Ice -The 40th French Ascent of Mont Blanc Very little is seen of these works in this day and age, unlike his more famous novels such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas, The Mysterious Island, etc. We believe it is about time to get these back into the hands of readers.
