Many thanks! As for new translations, I think we owe a vote of gratitude to
several academic publishers in recent decades. New English texts have been
coming out literally every year: be sure to read the just-out renderings of
The Green Ray (Luath, 2009), The Golden Volcano (U of Neb, 2008), and The
Kip Brothers (Wesleyan 2007). What's more, I'm aware of at least three
additional titles in the pipeline.

In the U.S. and the UK, we're definitely in the midst of a Verne
renaissance!

All the best,
Rick in Albuquerque.
