Voyages Extraordinaires.

been getting fascinated with Jules Verne.

if you don't know him, here's a modern reference: Journey to the Center of the Earth, the movie that was released in 2008.

that movie directed by Eric Brevig is not a direct adaptation of the book by Jules Verne; it's like a sort of 'sequel'. the main character, Trevor is given a box of his missing brother's stuff when his sister-in-law and nephew came over, one of them the book The Journey to the Center by Verne.

he opens the book and sees some notes in there before he believes that his brother was a Vernian; people who believe reality in Verne's writings.

so Trevor's nephew Sean was supposed to stay over at his house, and they ended up going to find their brother/father, by making their way to a crater that is believed to bring them to the core of the Earth.

that's the movie. i've got hold of the book by Jules Verne, and i emphasise that the classic by Verne has got nothing to do with the movie aside the feature of the book in it.

Verne never regarded his writings as science-fiction although his books seem to be under that genre. he wrote many books about journeys and all that, a collection called Extraordinaires Voyages, something like that, or Extraordinary Journeys.

there was Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, The Mysterious Island, Around the World in Eighty Days, just to name a few of his other works.

he had a fascination with ships since young. he went to study law or something, like his father, although his interests were in writing. he's written plays too!, and although he was French (born in Nantes), none of his protagonists were ever French.

Jules Gabriel Verne, 1828-1905.

sorry, just a few of the facts i read about him. all these are from memory so i can't really put in much. there was an introduction that shares his story and stuff like that. 


yeah, that's all i have to say now. don't really feel like talking about my life here anymore, for now anyway. i will be back regarding that shit soon.
