Order of Voyages Extraordinaires Books

Voyages Extraordinaires is a series of adventure novels by French novelist Jules Verne. The series is made up of unconnected journeys and adventures by various people. The editor, Pierre-Jules Hetzel, said that the idea of the series was “to outline all the geographical, geological, physical, and astronomical knowledge amassed by modern science and to recount, in an entertaining and picturesque format … the history of the universe.” The books are made with extreme addition to detail, combined with a love for exploration. The books give the reader a good amount of knowledge of geology, biology, astronomy, paleontology, oceanography and many of the different cultures of the world from the time.

Jules Verne began his Voyages Extraordinaire series in 1863 with the novels Five Weeks in a Balloon and Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras. The series lasted 54 novels, concluding with 1905’s The Invasion of the Sea. Below is a list of Jules Verne’s Voyages Extraordinaires books in order of when they were first published:
