 In the Internet page : "The life and work of J. V." by Prasard Philips (I think), with the following adress: "http://avery.med.virginia.edu/~mtp0f/flips/history.html" i saw this information:

"Jules Gabriel Verne was born in 1828, in Nantes, 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 have no such a reference in any other J.V`s biography.
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 to adapt J.V.`s books, if we adress them to children, for many reasons and among them his antisemitism(?)

Tell me if you know better because i haven`t read the article myself and perhaps i misunderstood the summary.

Thanks a lot
