Just published … with the assistance of the North American Jules Verne Society, the first English translation of the author’s Shipwrecked Family: Marooned with Uncle Robinson. Verne’s publisher told him to rewrite it, and that became the classic, Mysterious Island, where Captain Nemo made his last appearance. However, as revealed by this completely different version, Ray Harryhausen’s movie may have been closer to Verne’s original intentions, for there is evidence of strange experiments on the animals of the island.
