<\/a> Verne was trained to follow in his father’s footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the profession early in life to write for magazines and the stage. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the “Voyages Extraordinaires,” a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea<\/em>, and Around the World in Eighty Days<\/em>.<\/p>\nVerne’s The Mysterious Island<\/em> tops today’s Buffet. The novel is based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, who survived alone for almost five years on an uninhabited island off the coast of Chile. The novel tells the story of five men and a dog who land in a balloon on a faraway, fantastic island of bewildering goings-on and their struggle to survive as they uncover the island\u2019s secret.<\/p>\n As usual, each book listed here has gone FREE within the past 24 hours, except for the Bargain books in the yellow section below.
