Inspired by the Novels of Jules Verne: Coloring Book | Hardcover Edition

CLASSIFICATION: Literary Visual Companion SUBJECT: Les Voyages Extraordinaires AUTHOR: Gargoyle Collective PAGES: 84 (Illustrated) ROLE: The Armchair Expedition

Reading Jules Verne requires imagination; illustrating him requires engineering.

This volume is not a standard coloring book. It is a visual companion to the grandfather of science fiction. It invites you to engage directly with the mechanics of the Voyages Extraordinaires—from the rivets on Captain Nemo’s Nautilus to the trajectory of the projectile in From the Earth to the Moon.

It transforms passive reading into active participation. You are no longer just an observer of Phileas Fogg’s frantic schedule; you are the one applying color to the landscape as it rushes by. It is the only way to traverse the center of the earth without risking your actual life.

THE CURATOR'S NOTES

• The Scope of Travel: The volume covers ten unforgettable adventures, spanning the crushing pressures of the deep ocean to the vacuum of space. It is a comprehensive survey of 19th-century speculative geography.
• Academic Rigor: This is not merely a collection of outlines. Each premium-quality sheet is paired with a memorable quote and a deep-dive synopsis of the text. It functions as a refresher course on the classics while you work.
• The Safety Protocol: True exploration involves scurvy, giant squids, and volcanic vents. This volume allows you to experience the aesthetic of the sublime from the comfort of a wingback chair, with a cup of tea rather than a harpoon in hand.
• The Aesthetic: The line work captures the intricate, engraved style of the original 19th-century Hetzel editions. It demands precision, not scribbling.
