Wie geil ist das denn:
ZitatJules Verne ([d’ulz vøyn] in English), was born and died later on. He was a great French author who wrote in French and whose works were utterly mutilated by the English. The reason for the English mutilating Verne's work was not, as one could think, because they did not like him, but only because they were still pretty mad at the French for helping the colonies revolt. This was their revenge. England's Reverend Lewis Page Mercier covertly masterminded a plot to completely scramble Verne's works, thought at the time to be secret messages to French spies in England. But how many secret messages can there be before you just plain old don't care? 2(Encoded?)(2x-3). As a matter of fact, the reverend did not count with Jules Verne being a master cryptograph, a fact which thwarted all his plans as Jules Verne intercepted the transmission and managed to warn the French spies about the hoax.
Jules Verne is, among others, the author of the very comprehensive novel Michel Stroganoff, a prequel, or rather a first draft of his later novel Michel Strogoff. There is unfortunately no record of this early version of the novel known to this day. It is said that the novel hid in the titles of its 32 chapters a crypted list of ingredients and a list of instructions for the recipe of the very well known Bœuf Stroganoff (in English Beef Stroganoff).
