As I've been reading through these books, it's been rather eye opening. There is apparently a whole group of Verne scholars, much like one sees for Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. The back story of the various translations and abridgements is quite interesting as is the back and forth between Verne and his publisher.
I'm on the Mysterious Island now. I didn't realize there was a sub-genre called Robinsons as in The Swiss Family Robinson.
