Three of Verne's books from 1863-65 (Five Weeks in a Balloon, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and From the Earth to the Moon) were added into the series retroactively.

Although it was the first book of the series it was labeled as number two. The definitive version from 1866 was included into Voyages Extraordinaires series (The Extraordinary Voyages). The novel was published for the first time in 1864. The Adventures of Captain Hatteras (French: Voyages et aventures du capitaine Hatteras) is an adventure novel by Jules Verne in two parts: The English at the North Pole (French: Les Anglais au pole nord) and The desert of ice (French: Le Desert de glace). Jules Verne died in 1905 having paved the way for future science fiction writers and enthusiasts. A visionary, Verne wrote about air, space, and underwater travel long before the ability to travel in these realms was invented, and his works remain amongst the most translated, most continually reprinted, and most widely read books of all time. Jules Verne was a French writer and pioneer of the science fiction genre through novels like Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in Eighty Days, A Journey to the Center of the Earth, and The Mysterious Island.
