JULES VERNES SERIES of science fiction and adventure tales, the Extraordinary Journeys, were subtitled Worlds Known and Unknown, so that is an appropriate title for this volume of the Palik Series, edited by the North American Jules Verne Society and devoted to the authors stories not previously translated for the Englishspeaking world. Worlds Known and Unknown is an anthology featuring a variety of astonishing shorter works, with background and illustrations chosen from the original engravings that accompanied the first French publication and other historical sources. Beginning with his own adventures, Verne recounts several harrowing balloon ascensions, followed by a ghostly tale, and two satires of evolutiona man leading an army of apes, and a P.T. Barnumtype huckster unearthing a prehistoric human giant in New York! Here also is Vernes stage recreation of a romance between Mona Lisa and Leonardo da Vinci, and a series of fantastic stories by Jules Vernes son and collaborator, Michel Verne.
