Jules Verne: The 'Extraordinary Voyages' of a visionary French writer

This week we delve into the life of Jules Verne, one of the world's most widely translated writers. The French author's "Extraordinary Voyages" include "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", "Around the World in Eighty Days" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth". They continue to inspire fans of adventure stories, 120 years after his death in 1905. Many consider Verne to be one of the founding fathers of science fiction, while others see him as a visionary. Those familiar with the man himself speak of a tireless worker, with an unparalleled gift for making his ideas accessible to all and, with the help of his publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel, a creator of imaginary worlds that are still part of the cultural landscape today.We discuss Verne's life and legacy with Jean Verne, his great-grandson; Céline Giton, author of "Jules Verne: an Extraordinary Animal Anthology"; Agnès Marcetteau-Paul, author of "The very curious Jules Verne"; and Pierre Stépanoff, director of the Maison Jules Verne in Amiens.

I can remember it like it was yesterday. October, 1976, Sunday night, 7pm.I was already dressed for bed and I settled down in front of the TV.“When you wish upon a star” played from the speakers and the opening credits of “The Wonderful World of Disney” played across the screen. This was a normal Sunday night for me and it is the reason I am a huge Kurt Russell fan to this day.But this night of television was going to be very different.This night was going to change me forever.The music swelled and the screen was filled with stage curtains in blue, lights like waves splashed over the opening credits as the title card “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” played across the screen.That movie started my love of Science Fiction. The next day I checked out the Jules Verne book from the library and when I finished that, I went back for more. The Journey to the Center of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, Mysterious Island, and Around the World in Eighty Days just to name a few.Since then, Science Fiction has been my go-to when I am reading, watching TV or films, and gaming.The Science Fiction Genre has been described as the “Literature of Ideas” and it's one of the most versatile and expansive genres in existence. From the fantasy landscapes of J.R,R, Tolkien, to the time travelling HG Wells, to the Ringworlds of Larry Niven and the depths of the human mind from Neil Stephenson, Sci-Fi can do it all.On this episode Christina, Mike and I are going to talk about the Sci-Fi genre and how to bring it to life in your roleplaying games.Christina, do you remember your first exposure to Sci-Fi?

**Carrie and I are taking a much needed holiday break. We will be back in Mid-January with all new episodes. Until then, we have some replay episodes. New Year's Eve is just a few days away and often we think of toasting with a glass of sparkly at the stroke of midnight. Historical fiction writer Rebecca Rosenberg's love of wine and sparkling wine in particular took her on travels to France to visit the great wine houses. And one of the things she discovered was the huge influence women had on the wine and sparkling wine industry. That inspired her to write Champagne Widows, a novel about Madame Clicquot, France's first lady of wine from Napoleon's time. In fact you may be toasting in 2023 with a glass of Clicquot wine as it is still one of the premier sparkling wines today. Rebecca will continue the series this coming March with the story of Madame Pommery who lived in the 1860s but changed the way we think of champagne today. Cheers everyone! ** Part of what drew us to this week's author, Rebecca Rosenberg, was the cool cover of her historical fiction novel, Champagne Widows. But as we read the book, we realized it was a pretty fascinating story of a young widow, Madame Clicquot, who essentially revolutionized champagne production in France during the Napoleonic years. Rebecaa has written two other historical fiction novels but Champagne Widows is the first in a series about the trailblazing women of wine in France in the 19th century. As a champagne historian, Rebecca decided these stories needed to be told. She gave us a lot of the background on champagne and Madame Clicquot when we spoke to her. And reading Rebecca's book right around New Year's gave Amy all the excuse she needed to splurge on a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Champagne and share it with me to toast in 2022.

Around the World in 80 Days (musical version, Jules Verne): Mercury Summer Theatre of the Air, 1946

This week is the first production from, The Mercury Summer Theatre of the Air, with an adaptation of the Jules Verne novel from 1873, Around the World in Eighty Days. This is the musical short version, sometime later he did a non-musical version that was an hour. I strongly prefer the second version. Music by Cole Porter. Cast includes: Orson Welles (Fix), Arthur Margetson (Phileas Fogg), Larry Laurence (Passepartout), Mary Healy (Princess Aouda), Julie Warren (Molly Muggins). This is the greatly shortened version of the Broadway play that Welles produced. The expensive musical extravaganza opened on Broadway in May 1946 but closed after 75 performances. The Broadway show was considered a huge flop. After New York drama critic Robert Garland wrote disdainfully that the show had "everything but the kitchen sink", Welles had a kitchen sink brought to him onstage during his curtain speech. Although Broadway audiences reportedly loved Around the World, its precarious finances—and the theatre's inadequate air conditioning—could not sustain it through the summer, and Welles was forced to close it. He personally lost an estimated $320,000 (equivalent to $4,450,000 in 2021) on the production. Due to bad legal advice, he was unable to claim the loss on his taxes, and it took him many years to pay the debt.
