Paris in the Twentieth Century: Jules Verne, The Lost Novel Paperback - 1997
by Jules Verne/ Richard Howard
- New
- Paperback
Written in 1863, long before the advent of automobiles, electric street lights, and computers, Jules Verne's vision of a strange and unusual world predates both "Brave New World" and "1984", and bests both of those dystopian classics in its amazingly accurate depiction of a technologically extraordinary and socially alienated future world.

THE LITERARY DISCOVERY OF THE CENTURY
In 1863 Jules Verne, famed author of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in Eighty Days, wrote a novel that his literary agent deemed too farfetched to be published. More than one hundred years later, his great-grandson found the handwritten, never-before published manuscript in a safe. That manuscript was Paris in the Twentieth Century, an astonishingly prophetic view into the future by one of the most renowned science fiction writers of our time . . .
