ne of many successful writers of the 19th century, Jules Verne is especially remembered today as a visionary. He wrote many novels, but 20,000 Leagues under the Sea may be the one for which he is best remembered, even if one simply counts the movies made from the book or novels and stories that draw on the original. Verne himself wrote more than one other novel featuring a character from 20,000 Leagues. For us, Jules Verne represents his era in a very real way. (It is unfortunate that so many of the English editions of Jules Verne's works are incomplete. Read particulars about English translations of 20,000 Leagues under the Sea and how to find complete and true editions here.)

Ramble around and from the Vernian Era. Here are a few highlights. For some years this site has been the best place in the world to learn about Jules Verne's Nautilus or the Winans cigar ships, one of the best sources for information about the Confederate submarine Hunley, and there's other stuff too. Welcome and enjoy! |
