Box 338 Kingston, RI 02881 401-783-8853 2 Stuart Chases’s Use Of Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island, (1874) There are two very specific reasons why this piece was researched and written. The first is a continuation of my work done on Stuart Chase (various publications). I am still hopeful my efforts will inspire an historian to do a 1000 page biography on Stuart Chase. The second is further example why my idea of using Verne’s book as the basis for a one-day management seminar is worth trying. I’ve explored this idea with a number of friends and hope that this piece will take at least one of them to try this idea. I am classifying this as a casual piece and have no interest in this being written for a vigorous academic review.

    JULES VERNE'S MIKHAIL STROGOFF translated by Stephanie Smee Translated from the original French text, Michel Strogoff: Moscou—Irkoutsk, by Jules Verne, first published by J.Hetzel et cie in Paris, 1876. Translation copyright © Stephanie Smee To be Published by Eagle Books, 2016 All rights reserved. PART ONE I A BALL AT THE NEW PALACE ‘Sire, fresh news just in!’ ‘From?’ ‘From Tomsk.’ ‘And beyond that town the line is cut?’ ‘It has been since yesterday.’ ‘Have a telegram sent to Tomsk on the hour, every hour, and keep me informed, General.’ ‘Yes, Sire,’ replied General Kissoff. The exchange took place at two o’clock in the morning, just as the ball at the New Palace was at the height of its glory. The Preobrajensky and Paulovsky regimental orchestras had carefully selected from their dance repertoire the best of their polkas, mazurkas, schottisches and waltzes and had played non- stop. Dancing couples multiplied into the distance across the magnificent reception rooms of the palace, built just a few steps from that ‘old house of stones’, scene in the past to so many terrible tragedies, echoes of which had returned that night to beat time with the quadrilles. The Grand Marshal of the court found himself well assisted in his rather sensitive duties. Grand dukes and their aides-de-camp, chamberlains and palace officials all presided over the order of the dances. Diamond-bedecked grand duchesses in their finest ball gowns, surrounded by their ladies-in-waiting, valiantly set the tone for the wives of senior civil and military officials from the old ‘white-stone’ city.

    The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne 1874 PART 1--DROPPED FROM THE CLOUDS Chapter 1 "Are we rising again?" "No. On the contrary." "Are we descending?" "Worse than that, captain! we are falling!" "For Heaven's sake heave out the ballast!" "There! the last sack is empty!" "Does the balloon rise?" "No!" "I hear a noise like the dashing of waves. The sea is below the car! It cannot be more than 500 feet from us!" "Overboard with every weight! . everything!" Such were the loud and startling words which resounded through the air, above the vast watery desert of the Pacific, about four o'clock in the evening of the 23rd of March, 1865. page 1 / 899 Few can possibly have forgotten the terrible storm from the northeast, in the middle of the equinox of that year. The tempest raged without intermission from the 18th to the 26th of March. Its ravages were terrible in America, Europe, and Asia, covering a distance of eighteen hundred miles, and extending obliquely to the equator from the thirty-fifth north parallel to the fortieth south parallel. Towns were overthrown, forests uprooted, coasts devastated by the mountains of water which were precipitated on them, vessels cast on the shore, which the published accounts numbered by hundreds, whole districts leveled by waterspouts which destroyed everything they passed over, several thousand people crushed on land or drowned at sea; such were the traces of its fury, left by this devastating tempest. It surpassed in disasters those which so frightfully ravaged Havana and Guadalupe, one on the 25th of October, 1810, the other on the 26th of July, 1825.

  • From Michael Strogoff to Tigers and Traitors ― the Extraordinary Voyages of Jules Verne in Classics Illustrated
    Submitted October 3, 2011 Published January 27, 2012 Proposé le 3 octobre 2011 Publié le 27 janvier 2012 From Michael Strogoff to Tigers and Traitors ― The Extraordinary Voyages of Jules Verne in Classics Illustrated William B. Jones, Jr. Abstract From 1941 to 1971, the Classics Illustrated series of comic-book adaptations of works by Shakespeare, Hugo, Dickens, Twain, and others provided a gateway to great literature for millions of young readers. Jules Verne was the most popular author in the Classics catalog, with ten titles in circulation. The first of these to be adapted, Michael Strogoff (June 1946), was the favorite of the Russian-born series founder, Albert L. Kanter. The last to be included, Tigers and Traitors (May 1962), indicated how far among the Extraordinary Voyages the editorial selections could range. This article explores the Classics Illustrated pictorial abridgments of such well-known novels as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in 80 Days and more esoteric selections such as Off on a Comet and Robur the Conqueror. Attention is given to both the adaptations and the artwork, generously represented, that first drew many readers to Jules Verne. Click on images to view in full size. Résumé De 1941 à 1971, la collection de bandes dessinées des Classics Illustrated (Classiques illustrés) offrant des adaptations d'œuvres de Shakespeare, Hugo, Dickens, Twain, et d'autres a fourni une passerelle vers la grande littérature pour des millions de jeunes lecteurs.

  • Demand the Impossible Ss18
    BARN OF MONKEYS PRESENTS demand the impossible ss18 Here at the barn, we are moved by the drive of discovering new things. We struggle to reach for the impossible and to find who else shares our hunger for the unreachable! Demand the Impossible is a throwback from one of Jules Verne’s most celebrated novels – Around the World in 80 Days – one of his many stories from les Voyages Extraordinaires. The storyline is about Phileas Fogg, a rich English man living in London, who engaged in a journey around the globe in order to win a wager of £20.000 from his fellow members of the Reform Club. Sophisticated and minimalistic, Demand the Impossible focuses on three primary stages: the first while flying, the second while sailing and a third while travelling on ground. The collection shares this itinerary, using a carefully thought palette of colors inspired on each stage of the journey: earth, sea and air. As we travel across the sky and seas, we stumble upon the immensity of tones of blue that, at the end of the day, set on a beautiful palette of rose and yellow. Orange, yellowish green and earthy tones, blend together to create harmony out of an exciting and a sophisticated collection. And just like Man seems to have a special ability to adapt to new environments while travelling, some of Demand the Impossible’s key items are versatile to the point of flattering both genders. After several brainstorms, the monkeys decided it would be best to develop a kind of neutral design in which both boys and girls would feel comfortable and attuned, without overlooking a few girlish and boyish designs as well.

    Séquence CLASSES DE CINQUIÈME ET QUATRIÈME Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours Séquence réalisée par Marie-Ange Spire, professeure de lettres au collège Jules Verne Charcot de Fresnes (94). Introduction : l’intérêt pédagogique La lecture de ce grand classique de la littérature française, Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours de Jules Verne, offre dans le cadre des programmes officiels l’occasion d’étudier en classe de 5e un récit de voyage fictif. Le défi d’un gentleman britannique, Phileas Fogg, et de son domestique français Passepartout poursuivis par le détective Fix, constitue un des prétextes pour parcourir un monde en pleine mutation au XIXe siècle. En classe de 4e, on pourra également s’intéresser aux liens qu’entretiennent la réalité et la fiction dans l’univers de Jules Verne. L’aventure devient le lieu de la réflexion philosophique : quelle est la place de l’être humain dans un monde bouleversé par le progrès scientifique et technologique ? Cette séquence est conçue pour que l’élève s’approprie cette œuvre au cœur d’une époque marquée par l’effet de l’accélération du temps sur la représentation du monde. Des activités de lecture, d’écriture et de recherches documentaires s’attacheront à mettre en valeur la modernité de ce questionnement universel tout en analysant les mécanismes du roman d’aventures.

Jules Verne's Civil War The Blockade Runners (1871) by Jules Verne The Mysterious Island (1875) by Jules Verne North Against South (1887) by Jules Verne Do you know where and when Nemo, inventor and captain of the famed Nautilus submarine, died? I suppose I should first answer your own question: What has that question to do with the American Civil War? You probably didn't know, as I didn't know until a few days ago, that Jules Verne wrote two Civil War novels within ten years of the end of the war: The Blockade Runners (1871) and The Mysterious Island (1875), a sequel to Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870). Twelve years later, this French admirer of President Lincoln and General Grant published a third Civil War novel, North Against South. Answer: It was on Mysterious Island that Captain Nemo died. Although it was later published, illustrated, and is even now in print, The Blockade Runners is often not even listed as one of Verne's nearly 100 books, probably because it is really a 76-page novella first published in a book as an add-on to A Floating City (1871).

Phileas Fogg went to the Preform Club every day. He left his house at 7 Savile Row at 11.30 in the morning and walked to the club. He had his lunch and his dinner there. He read the papers at the club, and he played cards. He left late in the evening and walked back to Savile Row. He went to bed at midnight. Phileas Fogg was a cold man. He didn't talk much, and nobody knew much about him. But everything in his life had to be right. His washing water had to be at 31°C — not 30°C and not 32°C. At 9.37 on the morning of 2nd October 1872 his servant, James Forster, brought him water at 30°C, not 31°C. So this servant had to go. Phileas Fogg sat at home in his Savile Row house. He waited for his new servant. The new servant came. He was about thirty years old.

  • Le Tour Du Monde En Quatre-Vingts Jours, Jules Verne
    Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours, Jules Verne L’œuvre : C’est un roman d’aventures écrit par Jules Verne et publié en 1872. Il raconte la course autour du monde d'un gentleman anglais, Philéas Fogg, qui a fait le pari d'y parvenir en 80 jours. Il est accompagné par Jean Passepartout, son serviteur français. L'ensemble du roman mêle récit de voyage et données scientifiques comme celle utilisée pour le rebondissement de la chute du roman (décalages horaires). Ce voyage extraordinaire est rendu possible grâce à la révolution des transports (chemin de fer, machine à vapeur) qui marque le XIXe siècle (le siècle de la Révolution industrielle). De même, l'ouverture du Canal de Suez en 1869 rend les voyages plus faciles. Le « Tour du Monde en 80 jours » fait partie de la collection célèbre de l’auteur : « Les voyages extraordinaires » éditée chez Hetzel, 1873. On y trouve aussi : « Cinq semaines en ballon », « Voyage au centre de la Terre », « De la Terre à la lune », « Vingt mille lieux sous les mers », … Résumé de l’histoire : Londres, 2 octobre 1872. Comme tous les jours, Phileas Fogg se rend au Reform Club. En feuilletant le journal, il apprend qu'il est possible d'accomplir le tour du monde en 80 jours. En effet, un article de journal affirme qu’avec l’ouverture d’une nouvelle section de chemin de fer en Inde, il est désormais possible de faire le tour de la Terre en 80 jours, en suivant l’itinéraire suivant : Étape Transport Durée Londres – Suez Chemin de fer et paquebot 7 jours Suez – Bombay Paquebot 13 jours Bombay – Calcutta Chemin de fer 3 jours Calcutta – Singapour - Hong Kong paquebot 13 jours Hong Kong – Yokohama paquebot Ragoon 6 jours Yokohama – San Francisco paquebot 22 jours San Francisco – New York chemin de fer 7 jours New York – Londres paquebot, chemin de fer 9 jours Total 80 jours Isabelle ROLIN, CPEM / Art et culture Janvier 2017 Une vive discussion s'engage à propos de cet article.
