{ 363 Bibliography Works oF Jules Verne All works were published in Paris by J. Hetzel unless otherwise indicated. Most novels by Verne were first published in serial format in Hetzel’s Magasin d’Education et de Récréation, then as octodecimo books (normally unillustrated), and finally as octavo illustrated “luxury” editions in red and gold. The date given is that of the first book publication. Many entries have been gleaned from the excellent bibliographical studies of Volker Dehs, Jean-Michel Margot, François Raymond, Olivier Dumas, Edward Gallagher, Judith A. Mistichelli, and John A. Van Eerde, and especially those of Piero Gondolo della Riva and Brian Taves and Stephen Michaluk, Jr. Works in tHe series extraordinary Voyages (Voyages extraordinaires) Novels marked by an asterisk were published after Jules Verne’s death in 1905. It is important to understand that most of these post-1905 works were either substantially revamped or, in some cases, almost totally written by Jules Verne’s son, Michel.
