Hello!
Who of the frenchspeaking have read the interesting artcicle "Jules Verne et la piraterie des mers du sud: réalité ou romantisme" in the "Neptunia" No. 237 (march 2005, La revue des amis du Musée de la Marine)?
The article is presenting "Les frères Kip" in his first part and then descibing a real happening from the years 1891/1893 (the brothers Léonce and Eugène Degrave), which is in some way very close to the Kip - story, so that I can imagine that Jules Verne wrote his novel based on that events.
Anybody who know about that article or the historical true story from the Degrave - brothers in this Forum? And if so, what is your opinion?
Kindest regards
Bernhard
