Hardcover Journal | Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues
$19.69 – $23.84
Description
The new Jules Verne Embellished Manuscript journals pay homage to the godfather of science fiction by reproducing two of his most loved works. Both original manuscripts can be found in the historic collection of the Bibliotheque National de France. Verne is now remembered as one of the “Fathers of Science Fiction,” standing alongside H.G. Wells and Hugo Gernsback. He is credited with being an inspiration for the steampunk genre, a movement championing science fiction based on 19th-century technology. Verne never intended to be a scientific writer. He wanted to share the beauty of the real world, saying his goal was to “depict the earth [and] at the same time to realize a very high ideal of beauty of style.”
Paperblanks cover in oceanic blue features a page from Verne’s handwritten draft of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. The back cover has an engraving depicting Captain Nemo observing “a squid of colossal dimensions.” Take inspiration and start writing now.
