Over the years of Verne, many familiar concepts are touched upon. Since this is 2 thousand years hence, it is interesting what they thought what might be possible and how to do it.

Something to think about!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It was a tougher read than some of his other works but still good.By B. WhiteAn ok read from Mr. Verne. His imagination is matchless! It was a tougher read than some of his other works but still good. Article purportedly by Jules Verne, but probably by his son. According to the editor's note at the beginning: "In the Year 2889 was first published in the Forum, February, 1889; p. 262. It was published in France the next year. Although published under the name of Jules Verne, it is now believed to be chiefly if not entirely the work of Jules' son, Michel Verne. In any event, many of the topics in the article echo Verne's ideas." About the AuthorJules Verne, born at Nantes, France, in 1828, of legal and seafaring stock, was the author of innumerable adventure stories that combined a vivid imagination with a gift for popularizing science. Although he studied law at Paris, he devoted his life entirely to writing. His most popular stories, besides "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (1870), include: "Five Weeks in a Balloon" (1863), "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (1864), "A Trip to the Moon" (1865), "Around the World in Eighty Days" (1872), and "Michael Strogoff" (1876). In addition, he was the author of a number of successful plays, as well as a popular history of exploration from Phoenician times to the mid- nineteenth century, "The Discovery of the Earth" (1878-80). After a long and active career in literature, Jules Verne died at Amiens, France, in 1905.Isaac Asimov authored over 400 books in a career that lasted nearly 50 years. As a leading scientific writer, historian, and futurist, he covered a variety of subjects ranging from mathematics to humor, and won numerous awards for his work.

  • Astronomy and Astronomers in Jules Verne's Novels
    The Rˆole of Astronomy in Society and Culture Proceedings IAU Symposium No. 260, 2009 c 2009 International Astronomical Union D. Valls-Gabaud & A. Boksenberg, eds. DOI: 00.0000/X000000000000000X Astronomy and astronomers in Jules Verne’s novels Jacques Crovisier Observatoire de Paris, 5 place Jules Janssen, 92195 Meudon, France email: [email protected] Abstract. Almost all the Voyages Extraordinaires written by Jules Verne refer to astronomy. In some of them, astronomy is even the leading theme. However, Jules Verne was basically not learned in science. His knowledge of astronomy came from contemporaneous popular publications and discussions with specialists among his friends or his family. In this article, I examine, from the text and illustrations of his novels, how astronomy was perceived and conveyed by Jules Verne, with errors and limitations on the one hand, with great respect and enthusiasm on the other hand. This informs us on how astronomy was understood by an “honnˆete homme” in the late 19th century. Keywords. Verne J., literature, 19th century 1. Introduction Jules Verne (1828–1905) wrote more than 60 novels which constitute the Voyages Extraordinaires series†. Most of them were scientific novels, announcing modern science fiction. However, following the strong suggestions of his editor Pierre-Jules Hetzel, Jules Verne promoted science in his novels, so that they could be sold as educational material to the youth (Fig. 1). Jules Verne had no scientific education. He relied on popular publications and discussions with specialists chosen among friends and relatives. This article briefly presents several examples of how astronomy appears in the text and illustrations of the Voyages Extraordinaires.

In some of From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon them, astronomy is even the leading theme. However, Jules Verne was basically not learned in science. His knowledge of astronomy came from contemporaneous popular publications and discussions with specialists among his friends or his family. Here, we examine, from selected texts and illustrations of his novels, how astronomy — and especially planetary science — was perceived and conveyed by Jules Verne, with errors and limitations on the one hand, with great respect and enthusiasm on the other hand. Jules Verne was born in Nantes, where most of the manuscripts of his novels are now deposited in the municipal library. They were heavily edited by the publishers Pierre-Jules and Louis-Jules Hetzel, by Jules Verne himself, and (for the last ones) by his son Michel Verne. This poster briefly discusses how astronomy appears in the texts and illustrations of the Voyages Extraordinaires, concentrating on several examples among planetary science.

  • Colloque Nouvelles Lectures Politiques De Jules Et Michel Verne Amiens, 17-18 Mars 2022 Cinquante Ans Après La Publication
    Colloque Nouvelles lectures politiques de Jules et Michel Verne Amiens, 17-18 mars 2022 Cinquante ans après la publication par Jean Chesneaux d’Une lecture politique de Jules Verne, complété quelques années plus tard par de Nouvelles lectures politiques de Jules Verne, le sujet reste encore largement ouvert. Que l’œuvre de Jules Verne soit essentiellement politique est désormais admis dans la sphère académique. La découverte puis une lecture attentive des ouvrages posthumes, plus ou moins profondément remaniés par Michel, l’édition parallèle lorsque cela était possible du texte de Jules et de celui de Michel (Le Beau Danube jaune/Le Pilote du Danube ; En Magellanie/Les Naufragés du Jonathan ; Le Secret de Wilhelm Storitz ; Le Phare du bout du monde ; Le Volcan d’or, version originale et version revue) ont contribué à attirer l’attention sur un discours propre à Michel qui remet en lumière les choix de son père, de même que la génétique textuelle vernienne avait fait le départ entre marqueurs idéologiques propres à Jules et corrections de Hetzel. Mais rares demeurent les études disposées à creuser le sens politique de l’œuvre de Jules Verne, voire celui des ouvrages de Michel. La tentation est évidemment grande de vouloir politiser Verne ou les Verne, dans un sens qui serait celui de notre modernité : il est loisible d’aborder dans la perspective des post- colonial studies celui qui, des Enfants du capitaine Grant à Mistress Branican ou Un capitaine de quinze ans dénonçait avec virulence le génocide (on n’employait pas encore ce terme) perpétré par les colons anglais et qui s’est prononcé à de nombreuses reprises contre les « doctrines anti-humaines de l’esclavagisme » (Le Testament d’un excentrique).

  • History of Vernian Studies
    Submitted December 14, 2016 Published May 16, 2017 Proposé le 14 décembre 2016 Publié le 16 mai 2017 History of Vernian Studies Jean-Michel Margot Abstract The study of Jules Verne's œuvre began during his own lifetime. In 1966 his works came into the public domain and many French publishers began to reprint them in special editions. New, more accurate, translations soon followed, and Verne scholars discovered previously unpublished pieces. This history of Vernian studies is a chronological overview of research about Verne and his writings published in Europe and around the world, from the 19th century to today. It identifies a number of milestones in the publishing of Verne's works and it chronicles the rise and evolution of Vernian criticism. The purpose of this article is to aid new students and researchers interested in Jules Verne by enhancing their understanding of previous studies and to help them to avoid “reinventing the wheel” in their own research. Résumé L'étude de l'œuvre de Jules Verne a débuté du vivant de l'écrivain déjà. Il faut attendre 1966 pour voir son œuvre tomber dans le domaine public. De nombreux éditeurs le publient alors, de nouvelles traductions fiables apparaissent et les découvertes de textes inédits se multiplient. Cette histoire est une fresque chronologique des recherches et de leurs résultats dans le domaine vernien aussi bien en Europe que dans le reste du monde, des débuts jusqu'à nos jours. Elle rapporte les étapes cruciales de la publication des œuvres de Verne ainsi que les étapes de l'évolution des études verniennes.

  • Editorial — the Verne Translation Renaissance Continues
    Editorial — The Verne Translation Renaissance Continues Arthur B. Evans Asked to write an editorial for Volume 5 of Verniana, I would like to give a brief update to the survey of Anglophone Vernian scholarship (1965-2007) that I contributed to Volume 1 of Verniana several years ago. [1] In particular, I’d like to take a moment to recognize those many scholars, fans, and publishers who have made 2008-2012 an especially rich period for new English-language translations of Jules Verne. Top kudos for recent translations must go to the indefatigable American Vernian from Albuquerque Frederick Paul Walter, not only for his impressive omnibus volume Amazing Journeys: Five Visionary Classics published in 2010 (containing new translations of Journey to the Center of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, Circling the Moon, 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas, Around the World in 80 Days) but also for his “first complete English translation” of Verne’s The Sphinx of the Ice Realm (also featuring the full text of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym) which appeared in 2012. Both were published by Excelsior Editions, an imprint of SUNY Press. Equally indefatigable is Brian Taves, president of the North American Jules Verne Society and editor of its excellent Palik Series. He continues to lead a talented team of translators (Edward Baxter, Kieran M. O’Driscoll, and Frank Morlock et al.) and world-class Verne scholars (Jean-Michel Margot, Volker Dehs, and Garmt de Vries-Uiterweerd et al.) in their quest to “bring to the Anglo-American public [...] hitherto unknown Verne tales” (see their website at http://www.najvs.org/palikseries-press.shtml).

  • In the Year 2889
    Submitted October 18, 2017 Published November 30, 2017 Proposé le 18 octobre 2017 Publié le 30 novembre 2017 “2889” vs. “2890” Arthur B. Evans Abstract This article offers a detailed comparison of Michel Verne’s 1889 short story “In the Year 2889” and Jules Verne’s 1891 recycled version of the same story, now called « La Journée d’un journaliste américain en 2890 » [The Day of an American Journalist in 2890]. In my analysis, I have also pointed out some of the alterations Michel made to his father’s version when later editing it for inclusion in the posthumous 1910 edition of Verne’s Hier et demain [Yesterday and Tomorrow], now retitled « Au XXIXe siècle : La Journée d’un journaliste américain en 2889 » [In the 29th Century: The Day of an American Journalist in 2889]. Résumé Cet article propose une comparaison détaillée de la nouvelle de 1889 de Michel Verne “In the Year 2889” [En l'an 2889] et de la version de Jules Verne recyclée en 1891 de la même histoire, maintenant intitulée « La Journée d’un journaliste américain en 2890 ». Dans mon analyse, j'ai également souligné certaines des modifications que Michel a apportées à la version de son père en l'éditant plus tard pour l'inclure dans l'édition posthume de Hier et demain de Verne, cette fois intitulée « Au XXIXe siècle : La Journée d’un journaliste américain en 2889 ». 155 156 Verniana – Volume 10 (2017-2018) Introduction During the almost four decades since the publication of Piero Gondolo della Riva’s 1978 bombshell article on the topic [1], a great deal of attention and moral outrage has been directed at Michel Verne for rewriting his father’s posthumous works.
