Here is an extract of the relevant text from the People magazine article.

Of course they did have some advantages. Along with their gear in the
25-by-7foot gondola they called home, they carried a copy of "A Woman's
Life", by Guy de Mauspassant, which had been in the personal library of
Jules Verne, author of "Around the World in Eighty Days". The book had been
loaned as a good-luck charm by Verne's great-grandson Jean Verne. "To think
that that book had been handled and read by Jules Verne, and we had it with
us too," said Piccard. "It was wonderful."
