Today's book-type discovery: a new translation of a novel I hadn't even known Jules Verne wrote. The Green Ray (Le Rayon vert), 1883. It appears to be non-genre, a romance, and to involve some of the same geography as Powell and Pressburger's "I Know Where I'm Going!" (1945) This should be interesting.

Hadn't known there were new translations going on. I'll have a gander. I liked a lot of his mystery and thriller stuff, like Michael Strogoff, The Courier of the Czar.

Martin Paz is the only romance of his that I remember reading.

I think only of his Scottish books in this instance, but I am glad that someone's doing new translations of Verne; they're badly needed.

So noted. Cool.
