<Excellent find, Christian! Oddly, just as that message was being sent, I too was about to ask a question related to Les Enfants du Capitaine Grant. Clearly, <the Voyages Extraordinaires aren't the only place where unexpected coincidences occur.
Sure, my point is that Verne didn't make up/imagine that kind of incredible things, but he got them from contemporary books and periodicals.
<Here's my question: I've been doing some research into Les Enfants, and have found that the Project Gutenberg etext differs noticeably from the Hetzel <grand-in-8s and in-18s available on the Internet Archive and Gallia. How many versions of the French text are there, and which one (if any) is viewed as the <"standard" or "definitive" text?
Could you present an example of the differences you found (first paragraphs...)?
Best regards,
