5.0 out of 5 stars The best annotated translation 1978, reprinted 1995 11 Jun 2006
By Norman M. Wolcott - Published on Amazon.com
In the 1960's Walter James Miller discovered that the conventional translations of Verne's novels omitted at least 20% of the stories, and made in addition many textual and factual blunders. To correct this in 1978 Crowell published his new translation, an annotated version which contains many footnotes and illustrations of the period relating to the science of the time. It also restores Verne's reputation as as a scientific author as well as a fictional story teller. Out of print for many years, it has been reprinted by Gramercy: 1995, which should enlarge the pool of books available for purchase.
