In the Internet page : "The life and work of J. V." by Prasard Philips (I think), with the following adress:http://avery.mad.virginia.edu/~mtp0f/flips/jules.html  i saw this information:
 I copy from Jules Verne`s life history:
"Jules Gabriel Verne was born in 1828, in N antes, France. Jule`s parents were of a sefaring tradition, one factor which influenced his writings."
Does anybody of you has an idea about both of the presumed facts? The sefaring tradition of his family and the relevant influence in his writing?
 

I haven`t seen this information in some other J.V`s biography of my knowledge.
I only have an indirect reference in Archives no161 of a Marc Soriano`s article in L`Arc[Aix-en Provece] no 29, 1966 who seems to believe that we ought adapter J.V.`s books if we adress them to children for many reasons and among them his antisemitisme(?) (Tell me if you know better because i haven`t read the article myself and perhaps i misunderstood the summary.)

Thanks a lot
