IV. Other Novels
After Jules Verne’s death, his son Michel and his publisher Hetzel
used most of the remaining manuscripts to publish the well-known
posthumes novels. But Michel rewrote all of them, more or less. And,
even, he wrote completely new novels, like L’Agence Thompson and C°,
which was published under his father’s name. All the works Michel
manipulated and transformed are classified under the Apocrypha.
