Works of Jules Verne

By Horne, Charles F.

Excerpt
Excerpt: The four stories gathered in this volume in the order of their publication, ?Round the World in Eighty Days is the most celebrated. It was issued in 1872, not in the usual form in which Verne's books appeared, in Hetzel's series of Voyages Extraordinaires but in feuilleton This French method of publication in feuilleton not wholly unknown in our own country, consists of publishing a chapter or so each day in some daily paper. The universal interest which these daily feuilletons of Round the World in Eighty Days excited was absolutely unprecedented. Both English and American reporters telegraphed to their papers each day, the entire daily portion, which was promptly reproduced. So that for once three great nations were reading the same story at the same time, bit by bit.
