I also bought it but not receive it yet. The fact that there is no
English version is a real problem and restricts the diffusion to French
speaking people (my opinion is that you are such Garmt). About the "Ile
Mystérieuse" mini series, it's a very reliable adaptation of the JV
novel but some comments say that it is somewhat tedious...
The same editor re-published also a movie from “Le phare du bout du
Monde” featuring Burt Lancaster etc. There are 2 DVD, one with the
French version, the other with the original (English) version.,”The
light of the edge of the world”. The story is not too much altered
(there is, as usual in such adaptation, a woman character that do not
exist in the novel…) but the adaptators introduced by far more violence
than existing in the novel and some parts of the movie are almost
ridiculous.
Regards,
Jean-Pierre
