Hi Garmt:

Good idea. I fully support it. I would add to the list:

- The myth dealing with Verne as a man who didn't travel to any country.
Actually it is said he wrote all his books based only in his imagination,
without going abroad.
- The myth about the inscription in his tomb ("Vers l'immortalité...").
Actually, everybody knows this is the name of the sculpture.
- The legend about his jewish origin.
- The legend about his visits to some European and American countries he
never visited.

What about adding this question to the JV FAQ?

Regards,
Ariel
