Project Project Decide on your schedule for book. 2 chapters/ day plus written work, for 4 days/wk = 18-19 days, about 5 weeks, with discussion on the 5th days of each week and on days 21-25 for final projects. 3 chapters/day plus written work, 4 days/wk = 12-13 days, 3 weeks, with discussion on the 5th day. Take a few days on the 4th week to discuss and do the plot sheet. We only did the 3-chapters option for Week 4 Monday through Wednesday, because the book gets very exciting, and I knew my boys would want to read ahead to finish it. This made the book discussion very long on those days, but it still allowed us to finish the book in four weeks. Because of the long reading assignments and discussions on those days, I decreased the written work for those days and moved it to the fifth week. Copyright Amy Meyers 2020.

Give any help that is needed. • Discuss as much of the following as you like. I would go easy on the literary devices in the beginning of the book until they learn more in their guide, but make sure to bring out character elements right from the beginning. Literary devices: • allusion—pg. 1 Byron • Fogg—he’s obscure. No one knows much about his background. pg. 2 “But those who knew him best oculd not imagine how he had made his fortune, and Mr. Fogg was the last person to whom to apply for the information….least communicative of men.” pg. 3 “…seemed all the more mysterious for his taciturn manner….the wits of the curious were fairly puzzled.” • figure of speech: “second sight” pg. 3 what does that mean? • simile and imagery: pg. 5 “Fogg was seated squarely in his armchair, his feet close together like those of a grenadier on parade, his hands resting on his knees, his body straight, his head erect.” Fogg is compared “to a grenadier, or a certain type of soldier. This emphasizes his stoic, hardened nature, setting up the emotional wall in front of him that will continue to persist throughout his journey until his love for Aouda finally breaks it down.”1 • Theme of time: pg. 5 “…he was steadily watching a complicated clock which indicated the hours, the minutes, the seconds, the days, the months, and the years.” • symbol: Pass’s watch p. 6 Fogg says it’s too slow, Pass says that’s impossible. • simile/hyperbole? ch. 2 “I’ve seen people at Madame Tussaud’s as lively as my new master!” Madame Tussaud’s people were wax. • ch. 2 allusions: English composure which Angelica Kauffmann represented on canvas; p. 9 “Passepartout was by no means one of those pert dunces depicted by Moliere, with a bold gaze and a nose held high in the air…” • simile p. 9 “…he gave the idea of being perfectly well-balanced, as exactly regulated as a Leroy chronometer.” • allusion p. 10 “the ancient sculptors are said to have known eighteen methods of arranging Minerva’s tresses” • foreshadowing? p. 10 “rash to predict how Passepartout’s lively nature would 1 Gundersen, Kathryn. Suduiko, Aaron ed. "Around the World in 80 Days Metaphors and Similes". GradeSaver, 24 October 2015 Web. 16 May 2020. 3 agree with Mr. Fogg.” We’re already seeing how different they are. • simile: the mansion pleased him, seemed to him “like a snail’s shell…” • metaphor: ch. 2: “Ah, we shall get on together, Mr. Fogg and I! What a domestic and regular gentleman! A real machine; well, I don’t mind serving a machine.” Questions and Discussion: • Why is it likely that Phileas Fogg had journeyed quite a bit before? • What does the fact that Fogg fired his servant because the shaving water was two degrees less than desired reveal about him? • Why is the last name “Passepartout” fitting to his character? • Why does Mr. Fogg immediately say he’ll use the name Passepartout right after Pass mentions that he’d like to forget that name? Research: Byron, clubs, British Empire Victorian era, Moliere, Angelica Kauffman, wax figures Activity: • Phileas Fogg’s life was very organised. What is your daily routine? What time do you get up and what else do you do each day? Make this into a pie chart. • Only rich Victorian families could afford to have butlers and servants. Nowadays machines have replaced many of the jobs that servants did using their hands. As his butler, Passepartout helped Phileas Fogg keep to his daily timetable. Can you invent a machine that would help you save time every day? What will it do for you and how will it work? Draw a picture or diagram. • Play whist • Make a schedule/pie chart of his schedule and yours. Are you as disciplined as him? Character/Bible: What does the Bible say about self-discipline? ch. 2 p. 9 “Phileas Fogg was, indeed, exactitude personified, and this was betrayed even in the expression of his very hands and feet; for in men, as well as in animals, the limbs themselves are expressive of the passions.” The Disciplined Life is an excellent book you may want to read with your older children. Some chapters at the end discuss teaching yourself to discipline even your body movements. Also see the chapter 2 copywork quote below: he knew that relationships with other people would “slow” him down because of “friction” or arguments/conflict. So he’d rather not have relationships than to be bothered from his routines and habits in any way. Can self-discipline be had to an extreme? Are there extremes to all character traits? Discuss Aristotle’s idea of the Golden Mean: this is the desirable middle between two extremes, one of excess and the other of deficiency. All good qualities are a balance of moderation in the middle. “Moderation in all things.” (For example: Courage is the Golden Mean between cowardice [lack of courage] and rashness [excess of courage]. Copywork or Dictation: Ch. 1: pg. 5 “If to live in this style is to be eccentric, it must be confessed that there is something good in eccentricity.” Ch. 2: “He lived alone, and so to speak, outside of every social relation; and as he knew that in this world account must be taken of friction, and that friction retards, he never rubbed against anybody.” 4 Day 2: Chapters 3-4 Teacher Check: • Did they annotate anything in the book? • Did they do their vocabulary work? • Check their précis. Give any help that is needed. • Help them set up their notebook, if needed. Check their character page on Mr. Fogg. Make sure they followed directions. • Discuss as much of the following as you like. I would go easy on the literary devices in the beginning of the book until they learn more in their guide, but make sure to bring out character elements right from the beginning. Minor characters introduced: Andrew Stuart, an engineer; John Sullivan and Samuel Fallentin, bankers; Thomas Flanagan, a brewer; and Gauthier Ralph, one of the Directors of the Bank of England. Literary devices: • play on words “was more than surprised to see his master guilty of the inexactness of appearing at this unaccustomed hour” • irony: What does Pass want? p. 10 “Pass had been a sort of vagrant in his early years, and now yearned for repose; but so far he had failed to find it…” He won’t get it with Fogg, either, though he certainly should have been able to, considering Fogg’s descriptions thus far. Also p. 10 he’d heard that Fogg didn’t travel. “Early on in the novel, after Passepartout has just been introduced, he announces that he has come to work for Fogg "in the hope of living with him a tranquil life" (pg. 3), which is ironic since tranquil is the last thing Passepartout's life will be as he serves Fogg and gets dragged on a madcap journey around the world.”2 Pass sees the irony aforementioned. He says, “That’s good, that is! And I, who wanted to remain quiet!...Was this a joke, then?” Questions and Discussion: • What is the pivotal moment of the book in this chapter? "I'd like to see you do it in eighty days." Mr. Stuart, Reform Club Member—Ch. 3 “This is the very moment that Fogg is challenged to the wager that will drive the entire journey. It comes after they read a claim in the newspaper that the world can be traversed in eighty days.

  • Opening the Sources of the Kip Brothers: a Generic Interpretation

    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

    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.
  • Introducing Nissology to Speculative-Fiction Studies

    Introducing Nissology to Speculative-Fiction Studies

    Fafnir – Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research journal.finfar.org Seasteads and Aquapelagos: Introducing Nissology to Speculative-Fiction Studies Sarah R. MacKinnon Abstract: Examining fictional seasteading through the lens of the “aquapelago” acts as a bridge between the fields of island studies and speculative-fiction studies. Island studies as an interdisciplinary field of scholarly inquiry has drawn attention to the complex interactions between the maritime, terrestrial, and human aspects of island societies, moving away from “land-biased” research. The “aquapelago” has been devised to better understand islands as assemblages that may wax, wane, and change over time. Examples of seasteading within speculative fiction reveal that such floating settlements are not necessarily aquapelagic societies; some are more representative of ocean-skimming cruise liners. Such fictive examples frequently represent seasteading as floating refuges borne of necessity in a dystopian world affected by environmental or societal catastrophe rather than as planned utopias. Keywords: aquapelago, seasteading, utopia, climate change, island studies, speculative fiction 1. Islands of the Mind Islands have been an enduring motif in Western literature from Classical-era adventures like Homer’s Odyssey, Plato’s tale of Atlantis in Timaeus, and early Christian works like the Voyage of Saint Brendan the Abbot (900 AD) and his legendary search for the Isle of the Blessed to Renaissance works like Thomas More’s Utopia (1516), colonial-era works like Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe (1719), Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels (1726), and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island (1883), as well as more modern fiction such as Ursula K. Le Guin’s tales set in the Earthsea universe (1964–2018), Michael Copyright © 2020.
  • Editorial — the Verne Translation Renaissance Continues

    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).

What Thomas Renzi has done, in essence, is to lump together many (but far from all) of the straightforward cinematic adaptations of Verne's novels with a wide variety of other films that, in some way, appear to "echo" Verne's works.

(CORBIS) By Marissa Fessenden smithsonian.com January 25, 2016 American journalist Nellie Bly, born Elizabeth Jane Cochran, is arguably best known today for spending ten days in a "mad-house," an early example of investigative journalism that exposed the cruelties experienced by those living in the insane asylum on New York's Blackwell's Island. Bly was a journalism pioneer, not just for women, but for all reporters. But in 1889, another one of her projects attracted even more attention: a trip around the world by train, steamship, rickshaw, horse and donkey, all accomplished in 72 days. Bly's goal was to beat the fictional Phileas Fogg's 80-day odyssey, as written in the 1873 novel by Jules Verne, but her courage and determination helped her circumnavigate the globe in just 72 days, setting a world record, besting her own goal of 75 days and—unbeknownst to her—beating out her competitor, Elizabeth Bisland of Cosmopolitan magazine. Though at the conclusion of her journey, on January 25, 1890, Bly was greeted at a New Jersey train station by a crowd of cheering supporters, her editor at Joseph Pulitzer's New York World initially resisted sending her.

Evans ABSTRACT: This article discusses how Verne mythologizes and poeticizes his fictional machines. More than just a means for solving problems and/or for providing access to exotic geographical locales, Verne’s technology is portrayed as being intrinsically poetic. Bridging the worlds of the industrial and the artistic, Verne’s machines constitute a new kind of objet d’art. Anthropomorphized to make them seem less coldly mechanical, these devices take on a life of their own and exist in a richly symbiotic relationship with their creators. Such machines transport the readers of Verne’s Voyages extraordinaires beyond the mimetic, serving both as a means to build verisimilitude and as a stepping-stone to transcend the real.
