It was a collaboration that had begun while both were still alive, and continued as Michel saw to posthumous publication many of his father's stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this volume can be found one story as it was written by Jules (as Pierre-Jean), revised by his son (into The Somber Fate of Jean Morenas)-a story Michel even made as a movie in 1916! Also in these pages is the first English translation of a novel Jules began, Fact-Finding Mission, but which his son finished, and has hitherto only been available in the completed version by Michel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The English rendering and notes are by a leading authority on Verne translations, Kieran O'Driscoll.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BearManor Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031299080432,"sku":"9781593933777","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781593933777_p0.jpg?v=1763814214","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781593933777","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
