The sun had disappeared behind the snowy peaks of the Cordilleras; but the beautiful Peruvian sky long retains, through the transparent veil of night, the reflection of his rays; the atmosphere is impregnated with a refreshing coolness, which in these burning latitudes affords freedom of breath; it is the hour in which one can live a European life, and seek without on the verandas some cooling gentle zephyr...
The Purchase of the North Pole or Topsy-Turvy (French: Sans dessus dessous) is an adventure novel by Jules Verne, published in 1889. It is the third and last novel of the Baltimore Gun Club, first appearing in From the Earth to the Moon, and later in Around the Moon, featuring the same characters but set twenty years later.

L'Archipel en feu est un roman historique de Jules Verne, paru en 1884. Le récit se déroule sur le fond de la guerre d'indépendance grecque dans les îles de la mer Égée, dans les années 1820.

Après le voyage lunaire, le tour du monde sous-marin ou en quatre-vingts jours, quelles autres intrigues « technologiques » inventer ? Verne se rabat donc sur l'exotisme et le romantisme, comme pour les précédents romans qu’il a écrits.
