Reading notes
- The Flying Islands, by Jules Verne, Translated by A. Chekhonte §1 JULES VERNE
French novelist, pioneer of scientific-adventure fiction (Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, From the Earth to the Moon); the false attribution here is the story's central joke, a burlesque "translation" of an imaginary Verne romance.
