Of course. And Verne is one of the lesser authors, as is known.

> I adore Hemingway for "The Sun Also Rises", "Farewell to Arms" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls", but I can't say I enjoy "Across the River and Into the Trees" as much as I do the former three.

And I adore Zola for Germinal and Goethe for Faust.
 
> "Kéraban" looks like a pastiche of "80 Days" and Verne is not as successful with Kéraban as he is with Phileas Fogg .

And being successful is the only key to Verne's writings ???

Sorry, but Verne is not a big author at all. Neverthelesse, I like him
for very subjective reasons... and I like all his children, whether or
not they have been successful in commercial life...

Best and a lot of success in your everyday work,

Ralf Tauchmann
