About this product

Product Information

In 1863 Jules Verne, famed author of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in Eighty Days, wrote a novel that his literary agent deemed too farfetched to be published. More than one hundred years later, his great-grandson found the handwritten, never-before published manuscript in a safe. That manuscript was Paris in the Twentieth Century, an astonishingly prophetic view into the future by one of the most renowned science fiction writers of our time . . .

Reviews
"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

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Paris in the Twentieth Century

    Paris in the Twentieth Century is a recently discovered lost manuscript of Jules Verne's that describes what life would be like in 1960 from Vern's 1860 perspective! Deemed to dark and unrealistic by Verne's publisher at the time, the manuscript was rejected and Verne locked it away in a safe until his grandson came across it recently in the 1990's. It is a dark portrayal of merchandised life in the future obsessed with mechanical, engineering efficiency but lacking any appreciation of the artists contribution to society. Darker in tone than other of Verne's more popular works you may be familiar with, it is still worth reading!
