Dear Garmt,
Another myth to be pinned out is the famous quotation attributed to Jules
Verne:
"Tout ce qu'un homme est capable d'imaginer, d'autres hommes seront
capables de le réaliser."
How this "quotation" was forged is explained by Eric Weissenberg in "Jules
Verne - un univers fabuleux" (pp. 24-33).
Interestingly, in the book "Jules Verne et les sciences cent ans après" (p.
194) just published by Michel Clamen, the quotation is supposed to be
uttered by Marcel Bruckmann, a character of "Les 500 millions de la Bégum".
It is easy to check that this is not the case.
Regards,
Jacques Crovisier
