Praise
“Jules Verne was the Michael Crichton of the 19th century.”—The New York Times
“For anyone interested in the history of speculative fiction . . . this book is an absolute necessity.”—Ray Bradbury
“Verne’s Paris is a bustling, overcrowded metropolis teeming with starving homeless and ‘vehicles that passed on paved roads and moved without horses.’ Years before they would be invented, Verne has imagined elevators and faxmachines. It was a vision Verne’s editor flatly rejected. Contemporary readers know better.”—People
“An excellent extrapolation, founded on 19th-century technical novelties, of a future culture.”—The Washington Post Book World
“Verne published nearly seventy books, many of them now considered classics. But this little jewel catches him just reaching stride as a writer of science fiction, a genre that he, of course, helped put on the literary map.”—The Denver Post
