As Marc Soriano has pointed out:. According to their correspondence, Verne, Hetzel, and the illustrators of these books collaborated very closely with one another, and there was constant communication among them throughout the entire production process. In an letter from Verne to Hetzel concerning Vingt mille lieues sous les mers 9 , for instance, Verne writes:. By the way, it was an excellent idea to use Colonel Charras as the model for Captain Nemo [ 10].
Verne often accompanied such letters to his illustrators with free-hand sketches to give them an idea of what he wanted.

But, in this as in all other editorial matters, it was Hetzel who always had the final say. In the following On occasion, however, certain editorial oversights occurred which neither Verne, nor Hetzel, nor even the illustrator himself managed to catch before publication—e. Or look closely at the two illustrations, placed sequentially in this same novel, where Ayrton is secretly climbing aboard a pirate ship in the middle of the night Ayrton not only has found a pair of pants during his climb, but also the hull and bow of the vessel have mysteriously metamorphosed from iron to wood, and a winged figurehead has suddenly appeared on its prow!
As Georges Borgeaud has described it: Much like a movie or TV camera, it sometimes zooms in for a close-up, sometimes zooms out for a panoramic shot, and sometimes almost like an advertisement intercalates into the action a brief pedagogical aside. But who were these illustrators?
It must be said from the outset that very little is known about them. For this latter novel, Verne himself posed for the portrait of Prof. Pierre Aronnax located in an early chapter of this text. Riou succeeds in adapting himself artistically to the realistic reproduction of the many fantastic locales of the Vernian fictional geography: Henri de Montaut ? Montaut was a successful magazine cartoonist who also specialized in portraits—as in his rendering of the three Vernian astronauts Barbicane, Nicholls, and Michel Ardan 27 —the latter of whom, incidentally, was drawn from the likeness of the famous Parisian photographer and daredevil Nadar, whose witty personality and name via anagram were immortalized by Verne in this work.
Montaut was also known to have contributed many works to the popular weekly French magazine La Vie Parisienne. Alphonse de Neuville was another much-admired painter in France during this period. He collaborated with Riou on Vingt mille lieues sous les mers —all of the illustrations from chapter 12 onwards are his Neuville was also responsible for a small number of illustrations in the best-selling novel Le Tour du monde en The latter piece, showing the American flag securely fixed above the module, proved to be amazingly prophetic when Frank Borman of the Apollo 9 moon expedition landed in the Pacific, one hundred years later, only two or three miles from the point mentioned in the book.
Edmondo Marcucci 18 has said of his work: Through most of its length it coincides with the Romania-Ukraine border that stretches along Danube through. Portion of the canal, Bystroe, stretched through territory of Ukraine rather along the main course raised big concern in Romania which emphasized ecological issues of it as it stretches through the Ukrainian Biosphere Reserve "Danube Delta". Description Originally the distributary Bystroe of Danube Delta was among the main Soviet and Soviet Ukraine waterways until , when its exploitation stopped due to silting that occurred after Romanian authorities on a political initiative created own Danube — Black Sea Canal away from the border with the Soviet Union.
Jules Verne, circa Jules Verne — was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. Most famous for his novel sequence, the Voyages Extraordinaires, Verne also wrote assorted short stories, plays, miscellaneous novels, essays, and poetry. His works are notable for their profound influence on science fiction[1] and on surrealism,[2] their innovative use of modernist literary techniques such as self-reflexivity,[3] and their complex combination of positivist and romantic ideologies. This resulted in several distinct editions of each texts, as follows.
He sets out with his French servant Jean Passepartout to win the wager, unaware that he is being followed by a detective named Fix, who suspects Fogg of having robbed the Bank of England.

Together, the trio have numerous exciting adventures which come to an abrupt end when he is arrested by Fix immediately upon their arrival back in England. Although Fogg is quickly exonerated of the crime, the delay caused by his fa The Voyages extraordinaires literally Extraordinary Voyages or Extraordinary Journeys is a sequence of fifty-four novels by the French writer Jules Verne, originally published between and Part of the reason for the broad appeal of his work was the sense that the reader could really learn knowledge of geology, biology, astronomy, paleontology, oceanography and the exotic locations and cultures of world through the adventures of Verne's protagonists.
This great wealth of information distinguished his works as "encyclopedic novels". The first of Verne's novels to carry the t Vaskapu is a gorge on the river Danube. It forms part of the boundary between Serbia to the south and Romania north.

His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth , Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea , and Around the World in Eighty Days Verne is generally considered a major literary author in France and most of Europe, where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism.
It was established in by seven countries bordering the river, replacing previous commissions that had also included representatives of non-riparian powers. Its predecessor commissions were among the first attempts at internationalizing the police powers of sovereign states for a common cause. The commission dates to the Paris Conferences of , which established for the first time an international regime to safeguard free navigation on the Danube, and of , which resurrected the international regime after the First World War. Runabouts are a class of small, multi-purpose starships in the Star Trek science-fiction franchise, primarily the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which aired on syndicated television between and They were the primary means of transport for the crew of the DS9 station.
As the station had three launch pads, its normal contingent of runabouts numbered three, though a high rate of loss often reduced that number until a new ship or ships could be assigned see "Disposability" below.
Danube-class The Danube-class vessels are larger than shuttlecraft seen in previous series of Star Trek, but significantly smaller than previously depicted starships. They operate with a minimum crew of one and are equipped with warp drive, transporters, and accommodation for long-duration missions. The Runabouts assigned to DS9 are usually named after various rivers on Earth.
The Next Generation "Timescape" A verneshot named after French author Jules Verne is a hypothetical volcanic eruption event caused by the buildup of gas deep underneath a craton. Such an event may be forceful enough to launch an extreme amount of material from the crust and mantle into a sub-orbital trajectory. Connection with mass extinctions Verneshots have been proposed as a causal mechanism explaining the statistically unlikely contemporaneous occurrence of continental flood basalts, mass extinctions, and "impact signals" such as planar deformation features, shocked quartz, and iridium anomalies traditionally considered definitive evidence of hypervelocity impact events.
If continental rifting occurs above this location, an explosive release of the built up gas may occur, potentially sending out a column of crust and mantle into a globally dispersive, super-stratospheric trajectory.

The story is also notable in that Verne attempted to do some rough calculations as to the requirements for the cannon and in that, considering the comparative lack of empirical data on the subject at the time, some of his figures are remarkably accurate. However, his scenario turned out to be impractical for safe manned space travel since a much longer barrel would have been required to reach escape velocity while limiting acceleration to survivable limits for the passengers.

Prosto mi je nevjerovatno da mi je ovo do sada bilo nepoznato. Niks futuristisch en dus helemaal geen scifi. Wel een mooi verhaal over een mooie streek in een niet zo mooie periode uit de geschiedenis. De loop van de Donau wordt door Verne op zijn karekteristieke manier met oog voor wetenschappelijk in dit geval vooral geografisch detail beschreven. Dat zorgt voor een sterke achtergrond voor de liefhebbers waartoe ik zeker behoor en schrikt anderen eerder af heb ik recent nog vernomen. Het eigenlijke avonturenverhaal bevat niet veel verrassingen maar is Niks futuristisch en dus helemaal geen scifi.

Toch straalt het ook een zekere rust uit wat toch wel een tegenstrijdigheid lijkt. Komt het door het onderwerp: Geen idee maar het zorgt wel voor evenwichtige en aangename lektuur. Doordat het verhaal gesitueerd is in een vorig tijdperk past de manier van schrijven er wonderwel bij en storen de oude gebruiken en zinswijzen niet, integendeel. Golden Danube is a charming little tale and Ilia Krusch is an endearing character near the top of the list for me when it comes to Verne protagonists.
The plot unfolds in a leisurely pace much as I'd imagine a cruise down the Danube itself might be. That's not to say the story is boring - not at all. The profile sketched of Mr. Krusch is well worth the reader's time and there are enough "bends in the river" no spoilers here! A favorite among the many gems Golden Danube is a charming little tale and Ilia Krusch is an endearing character near the top of the list for me when it comes to Verne protagonists.
