"Jules Verne", the most translated novelist in the world and best known for books such as "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea" and "Around the World in Eighty Days", was also a prolific playwright. "Journey Through the Impossible", a play of fantasy and science fiction, ran for 97 performances in Paris in 1882 and 1883. In the three acts, the characters go first to the centre of the Earth, then under the sea, and finally to the planet Altor. Characters from: "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea"; "From the Earth to the Moon"; "Doctor Ox"; and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" appear again in "Journey through the Impossible", including Captain Nemo, President Barbican, Michel Ardan, Doctor Ox, and Professor Lidenbrock. This is the first complete edition and the first English translation of a surprising work by a popular French novelist whose works continue to delight readers and audiences to this day.
