Jules Verne's Lost Novel Resurfaces

Original: Jules Verne's Lost Novel

A newly translated edition of Jules Verne's long-lost novel 'Paris in the Twentieth Century' is drawing fresh attention. Verne wrote the book in 1863, but his publisher rejected it as too pessimistic and it remained unpublished until 1994. Readers are revisiting its strikingly accurate predictions about modern technology and urban life in Paris.

Why now: A new edition or translation of the novel has renewed interest in Verne's uncanny predictions about the future.
