>Volker Dehs. Tome I (1863-1874). Geneve, Editions Slatkine, 1999, 288
>p. ISBN : 2-05-101790-5.

>This long awaited book is the first of three volumes which will have
>all the known letters between the author and his publisher. The volume
>not only contains JV's letters, but also Hetzel's answers. Olivier
>Dumas, Piero della Riva and Volker Dehs (French, Italian and German)
>did a very accurate job. They are the best JV specialists and are used
>to read fluently JV's handwriting.
>
>Most of the letters belong to the National French Library and were
>donated in the mid-1950s by Hetzel's heirs.
>
>After a foreword (by Olivier Dumas) explaining the relations between
>JV and PJH and the writing conventions used in the book, the volume
>opens with a detailed (down on the day and month, not only the year !)
>chronological list of the publication of JV's works between 1863 and
>1874. The book ends with four alphabetical indexes : Family names,
>Magazines, JV's works, Works by other authors.
>
>This book is of course A MUST for every JV specialist and enthusiast.
>
>In 1999, a new biography was published in France, written by the
>president of the JV documentation Center in Amiens, Jean-Paul Dekiss :
>
>Decks, Jean-Paul : Jules Verne l'Enchanteur. Paris, Editions du Felin,
>1999, 430 p. ISBN : 2-86645-311-5.
>
>This recent biography is well illustrated and takes in account the
>most recent discoveries. Dekiss tells JV's life in putting him in his
>Century, among his family and friends, always using proven facts to
>document his writing.
>
>Another MUST ? For those who read French, YES.
>
>Both books should be available at the FNAC or ALAPAGE sites :
>www.fnac.fr and www.alapage.com
