If you thought the Bond villain was born in 1953 with the appearance of Le Chiffre in Ian Fleming's Casino Royale, then think again. Reading a Jules Verne's 1904 novel, I was surprised to encounter an antagonist who had many of the attributes we closely associate with the villains of the Bond novels and films. Read more...

Jules Verne was one cool cat. You can't write books like Around the World in 80 Days, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Journey to the Centre of the Earth without having something a little bit special about you. So looking on our new ‘Places To Go Map’ (more on that another time) for somewhere to explore, the home of Jules Verne seemed ideal. Read more...

Distributor The Juice has signed a deal with US company Vision Films Entertainment for the exclusive right to two new films based on Jules Verne's stories. One, Freedom Force, is a 4 D attraction, in which we follow the adventures of four children who are sent back in time to the pages of Jules Verne's stories. They encounter characters from A Journey to the Center of the Earth or 20,000 Leagues under the Sea among others, and they must return these characters back to the pages of the books, setting history straight and not mixing up anything as they go.

Eight years ago, Alex Kirstukas ’14 opened up a book by a favorite author and felt his world turn upside down. The book, a modern translation of Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, included an explanation that most of Verne’s books in the English-speaking world are not an accurate portrayal of his work.
