Trajectory Introduction
A Note on eBook Publishing and the Trajectory Classics
Tablet publishing is not new. In fact, it was quite popular several thousand years ago when clay tablets were used as the original transportable media. Papyrus proved to be even easier to manage and to record the events of the day upon, but when that became harder to come by after the fall of the Roman Empire, Western writers turned to parchment and vellum. Calligraphers, copyists, correctors, illuminators, and rubricators (the lucky monks who were selected to paint the red letters) went about their long and laborious tasks to create a single book. Considering the effort that went into this, it is not surprising that books were often chained to tables in the original public libraries. From the Han Dynasty's creation of the woodblock printing method in the 3rd century, to Guttenberg's invention of moveable type in Europe around 1450, modern advances made it progressively easier to produce books and to make reading accessible to a larger number of people.
It is interesting to consider how readers must have reacted during the transition from beautifully hand-printed and custom illustrated books to the volumes that were mass-produced by a printing machine. The tactile experience of holding an original work of art must have been hard to part with, but few people had the chance to actually read these books, much less own them. It has been estimated that more books were published in the 50 years following Guttenberg's invention than in the prior history of mankind. Today, it is easy to imagine a future where personal digital libraries will rival yesterday's traditional public libraries.
Our goal here at Trajectory is to enable a new generation of readers to access and interact with the great works of mankind through the latest evolution in tablet publishing. We are deeply interested in allowing people to view these works through a new perspective, which includes the unique illustrations and the statistics generated through our semantic lens. Everyone who is inspired by evolving forms of art now has the opportunity to experience the Classics in a fresh way, and our hope is that our small contribution may enable readers to see these classic works in a new light.

About the Author

Jules Gabriel Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction.Born to bourgeois parents in the seaport of Nantes, Verne was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the profession early in life to write for magazines and the stage. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages Extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days.Verne is generally considered a major literary author in France and most of Europe, where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His reputation is markedly different in Anglophone regions, where he has often been labeled a writer of genre fiction or children's books, not least because of the highly abridged and altered translations in which his novels are often reprinted.Verne is the second most-translated author in the world since 1979, between the English-language writers Agatha Christie and William Shakespeare, and probably was the most-translated during the 1960s and 1970s. He is one of the authors sometimes called "The Father of Science Fiction", as are H. G. Wells and Hugo Gernsback.

About the Book

Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon is a novel by Jules Verne, published in 1881. It has also been published as The Giant Raft.Unlike many of his other novels, this story does not have any science fiction elements. It is an adventure novel.This novel involves how Joam Garral, a ranch owner who lives near the Peruvian-Brazilian border on the Amazon River, is forced to travel down-stream when his past catches up with him. Most of the novel is situated on a large jangada that is used by Garral and his family to float to Belém at the river's mouth. Many aspects of the raft, scenery, and journey are described in detail.

THE MAN who held in his hand the document of which this strange assemblage of letters formed the concluding paragraph remained for some moments lost in thought.
It contained about a hundred of these lines, with the letters at even distances, and undivided into words. It seemed to have been written many years before, and time had already laid his tawny finger on the sheet of good stout paper which was covered with the hieroglyphics.
On what principle had these letters been arranged? He who held the paper was alone able to tell. With such cipher language it is as with the locks of some of our iron safes--in either case the protection is the same. The combinations which they lead to can be counted by millions, and no calculator s life would suffice to express them. Some particular "word&
