Ben bezig met #julesverne en zag deze prachtige plaat in “Reis van de aarde rondom de maan”, deel 8 van de reeks “De wonderreizen van Jules Verne aan kinderen verteld”. Uitgegeven door I. de Haan tussen 1868 en 1872, collectie #KB, aanvraagnummer 2378271. Digi versie op Google Books. @kbnationalebibliotheek

Hmm... Is "Giulio" in Italy the same as "Jules" in French, or does Jules have a brother? #julesverne

Jules Verne’s From the Earth to the Moon (1865) is a visionary sci-fi classic that predicts space travel decades before its time. After the American Civil War, an eccentric group of gunners embarks on an audacious mission: to launch a massive cannon shell carrying three men to the Moon. Packed with surprising accuracy in its calculations—Verne’s novel is a thrilling blend of imagination and ingenuity.

I just love love LOOOOOVE when a board game embraces its nature of a cultural object and it references real life. Such as this project card from the board game Terraforming Mars. Can you guess what reference is made here?

Terraforming Mars is a very appreciated game thanks to its game mechanisms, but also its theme. It manages so well to capture the zeitgeist of de mid-2010s (when this game appeared) and the renewed optimism we had not only towards space exploration (I think we still have that), but also towards the corporations doing said exploration.

That's because no board game is ever just an island entire of itself. Every little component, every small game mechanism or rule, is influenced by the culture and society that created the game and can also influence the culture and society of another country that adopted it, given enough time.

I wrote about all of the ways this game captures that decade's zetigeist and I managed to learn a lot of stuff:

(P.S. Although the post is in Romanian, I also have a translate button which I think it does a pretty good job.)

Today in Labor History January 25, 1890: Nellie Bly completed her round-the-world journey in 72 days. She successfully beat the fictional record by Phileas Fogg, in the Jules Verne novel. Bly was an American journalist, industrialist, inventor and charity worker. However, she also pioneered investigative journalism. In one of her most celebrated pieces, she went undercover to report on abuse and neglect at the Women’s Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell’s Island.

Im 120. Todesjahr von #JulesVerne lädt Schriftstellerin @beritmiriam.bsky.social zu einer kommentierten Mitleseteise zuerst nach Island und von dort zum "Mittelpunkt der Erde" ein. Heut geht's los - und wer sich der Reisegruppe noch anschließen möchte, möge sich mit Steigeisen hier einfinden.

Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea By Jules Verne

Près de chez moi, une vieille baraque doit être détruite, son contenu bazardé... quelques meubles, beaucoup de vaisselle et Ô miracle des livres! J'en achète pour trois fois rien : un livre sur l'Exposition Universelle de 1889 et deux Jules Verne dans un piteux et déplorable état !

Quelqu'un sait-il comment nettoyer de pareils objets ? Comment les recoller convenablement avec la colle adéquate... bref les restaurer un tant soit peu?!

I was trying to find a good audio book for this weekend that I realized #LibreVox has a good collection of Jules Verne novels all free and in public domain. The "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" was the first novel I read in my life when I was in elementary school during a summer. Now I have the audio book to enjoy

In 80 Tagen um die Welt? Kein Problem ... heute, aber vor 170 Jahren? Als die Eisenbahn der letzte Schrei war - die DB hat glaub ich noch ein paar Exemplare von damals im Einsatz - eine echte Herausforderung. Jules Verne hat es aufgeschrieben und ich lese es vor -> hier lang, Tickets sind kostenlos: https://lies-mal-vor.podcaster.de/
Gerne auch den Podcast im Tool eurer Wahl abonnieren. Viel Spass.

"So Matt, you like Space?"
Sure!
"Pop culture? Science fiction?"
Oh yes!
"Cold War history?"
[Pinches self]
"Cosmic horror?
[Muffled sounds of excitement]

Me in The Independent today: Listen to 100s of years of science fiction... do NOT go into that Moon tunnel.
