In The Sphinx of the Ice Realm, he penned the most amazing journey of his fabled career: a voyage across the bottom of the world! An astonishing mix of manhunt, sea story, scientific speculation, and polar nightmare, Verne’s epic fantasy novel appears here for the first time as a new and complete translation by noted Verne expert Frederick Paul Walter. The book is a treat for any fan of science fiction and fantasy, and includes many fascinating notes for students and scholars alike. In addition, the book features a complete, reader-friendly rendition of the original Poe tale that sparked Verne’s uniquely imaginative response. file download lozilar.pdf ISBN:1853260908 - Jules Verne - Around the World in Eighty Days - And Five Weeks in a Balloon - 384 pages - Fiction - Around the World in Eighty Days (1873) relates the hair-raising journey made as a wager by the Victorian gentleman Phileas Fogg, who succeeds - but only just! - in circling the - Jan 1, 1994 the Poe The Sphinx of the Ice Realm: The First Complete English Translation, with the Full Text of The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym by Edgar Allan Poe pdf file 1909 - Fiction - ISBN:0803296193 - 292 pages - Jules Verne - The announcement that a solid gold asteroid has fallen to earth creates a worldwide sensation.

  • Opening the Sources of the Kip Brothers: a Generic Interpretation
    Opening the Sources of The Kip Brothers: A Generic Interpretation Brian Taves ABSTRACT Jules Verne’s The Kip Brothers (Les Frères Kip, 1902) has typically been analyzed in several ways. It is viewed as a tribute to his late brother Paul; for its resemblance to the contemporary Dreyfus and Rorique Affairs; and for its concluding “science fiction”-style discovery of the reflection of the murderers in a photograph of the dead victim’s eyes. I propose a new interpretation of The Kip Brothers, examining how the conventions of the adventure formula are reflected in the novel’s narrative. Not only does it encompass adventure’s typical view of colonialism, but in a manner similar to Mathias Sandorf, The Kip Brothers is indebted to The Count of Monte Cristo by Verne’s mentor Dumas. Examining a specific type of adventure, the genre type with a maritime setting, The Kip Brothers follows the type’s pattern of illustrating injustice at sea and how it is overcome. The Kip Brothers echoes the fundamental example of the sea formula, the Bounty saga, a historical incident Verne had previously utilized as the basis for a short story. Similarly, James Cook, the explorer whose deeds occupied such a major part of the 18th century volume of Verne’s Discovery of the Earth: History of the Great Voyagers and Great Navigators (Découverte de la Terre. Histoire générale des grands voyages et des grands voyageurs), serves not only as the name of the principal vessel in The Kip Brothers but a yardstick by which the heroism, and the martyrdom, of the Kips and Captain Gibson are measured.

  • 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).

  • Jules Verne - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Jules Verne - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Jules Verne(8 February 1828 – 24 March 1905) Jules Gabriel Verne (French pronunciation: ?[?yl v??n]) was a French author who pioneered the science fiction genre in Europe. He is best known for his novels Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Many of his novels involve elements of technology that were fantastic for the day but later became commonplace. He is the second most translated author in the world (after Agatha Christie). Some of his books have also been made into live-action and animated films and television shows. Verne is often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction", a title sometimes shared with Hugo Gernsback and H. G. Wells. <b>Early Life</b> Jules Verne was born in Nantes, in France, to Pierre Verne, an attorney, and his wife, Sophie Allote de la Fuÿe. He spent his early years at home with his parents in the harbor city of Nantes. The family spent summers in a country house just outside the city, in Brains on the banks of the Loire River. Here, he and his brother Paul would often rent a boat for one franc a day. The sight of the many ships navigating the river sparked Verne's imagination, as he describes in the autobiographical short story "Souvenirs d'Enfance et de Jeunesse". At the age of nine, he and Paul, of whom he was very fond, were sent to boarding school at the Saint Donatien College (Petit séminaire de Saint-Donatien).

The unusual subtitle of this work, “The First English Translation of Verne’s Original Manuscript,” warrants some explanation, since it constitutes the very raison d’être of the book. When Jules Verne died in 1905, he left behind several unpublished novels (titled and untitled, in various states of completion, including Paris in the Twentieth Century [c.1863], which had been rejected by his publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel over forty years earlier), a number of short stories, a few plays, and some autobiographical and historical writings.
