Dear William Butcher,
Just finished The Adventures of Captain Hatteras. Fantastic.
Gripping. Especially the middle third. A definite page turner. Glad
to see inclusion of deleted ending. A shame Hetzel insisted on the
changes as it does indeed feel anti-climactic after the
"particulars". It would be such a giddy pleasure to read JV
chronologically as I am very surprised by how much of the wonderful
"Romance - Reality" style harkens to this second Voyage.
Hats off on another excellent translation. Fyi, there appears to be
an error bottom of page 60 in 2005 Oxford edition.
Extremely eager to read many more modern English translations of Les
Voyages. If only we could get a massive grant to publish everyone
single one of them via Wesleyan, Bison, Oxford et al.
What kind of budget would this undertaking require?
Regards.
Cyrus
