Synopsis "Around the World in 80 Days - the 1874 Play (Hardback) (in English)"

Volume 6 of the Palik Series, published in conjunction with the North American Jules Verne SocietyJules Verne's most famous novel was originally conceived as a play--and had its greatest nineteenth century success as a stage play that was adapted by Verne. The play ran for thousands of performances in many different countries, including the United States. Here is the original play script, translated directly from the French by the producers of the original Broadway presentation. The play has been unpublished since 1874. Verne collaborated with Adolphe d'Ennery to create a distinctive version of the story that features many different characters and episodes than are in his novel. Included in this volume is an Introduction about how the play was created and staged, followed by the the first-ever translation of Verne's essay, "The Meridians and the Calendar," explaining how the fictional Phileas Fogg accomplished his feat of going around the world in eighty days. By Jules Verne and Adolphe d'Ennery. The original translation commissioned by the Kiralfy Brothers. Introduction by Philippe Burgaud, with Jean-Michel Margot and Brian Taves. Afterword, "The Meridians and the Calendar," by Jules Verne, Translated and Annotated by Jean-Louis Trudel. Appendix, "The Play on Screen," by Brian Taves.This series is published in conjunction with the North American Jules Verne Society, najvs.org.

Jules Gabriel Verne, conocido en los países hispanohablantes como Julio Verne (Nantes, 8 de febrero de 1828-Amiens, 24 de marzo de 1905), fue un escritor, dramaturgo y poeta francés, célebre por sus novelas de aventuras y por su profunda influencia en el género literario de la ciencia ficción.
Nacido en una familia burguesa, estudió para continuar los pasos de su padre, Pierre Verne, como abogado pero muy joven decidió abandonar ese camino para dedicarse a la literatura. Su colaboración con el editor Pierre-Jules Hetzel dio como fruto la creación de Viajes extraordinarios, una popular serie de novelas de aventuras escrupulosamente documentadas y visionarias entre las que se incluían las famosas De la Tierra a la Luna (1865), Veinte mil leguas de viaje submarino (1870), La vuelta al mundo en ochenta días (1872) o La isla misteriosa (1874). Ya antes había publicado Cinco semanas en globo (1863) y Viaje al centro de la Tierra (1864).
Es uno de los escritores más importantes de Francia y de toda Europa gracias a la evidente influencia de sus libros en la literatura vanguardista y el surrealismo, y desde 1979 es el segundo autor más traducido en el mundo, después de Agatha Christie. Se le considera, junto a H. G. Wells, uno de los «padres de la ciencia ficción». Fue condecorado con la Legión de Honor en 1892 por sus aportes a la educación y a la ciencia.
