Jules Verne


The Demon of Cawnpore

The Demon of Cawnpore

The Steam House: Book 1

Jules Verne

First part of La maison à vapeur (1880).

Steam engines, steam vessels... why not steam land cars? Such was Jules Verne's thinking in the Age of Steam, the fabulous century of invention that paved the way for the present. And if a steam car, why not use it for exploration, for adventure and daring deeds?

And what more exotic, more adventurous place than India, the vast sub-continent of rajahs and temples and weird cults - and in Verne's time also a seething rebel-torn colony of the Victoria's Empire?

So developed Verne's marvelous adventure novel of the steam elephant, of a courageous English colonel seeking refuge and revenge, and of the steam-driven jungle caravan that took him and his band into the very heart of India's unexplored mysteries.

Tigers and Traitors

The Steam House: Book 2

Jules Verne

Second part of La maison à vapeur (1880).

Trailers and luxury travellers were ideas that Jules Verne dreamed up a century before our time...and wrote them into the most exotic scenery and the most exciting adventures.

Consider Colonel Munro's marvelous steam elephant that pulled a train of palatial houses-on-wheels through the deepest jungles of India. Add a land beset with internal chaos, banditry, and rebellious local chieftians, and you have the grounds for one of Verne's most exciting novels.

Such is Tigers and Traitors, a novel packed with such wonders as a terrifying tiger hunt, a mysterious white goddess, a fight against rampaging elephants, and the pursuit of the steam caravan by an army of furious fanatics. It's fast-paced science-fiction adventure.
