, the goal of the ''Voyages'' was "to outline all the geographical, geological, physical, historical and astronomical knowledge amassed by modern science and to recount, in an entertaining and picturesque format ... the history of the universe." Verne's meticulous attention to detail and scientific trivia, coupled with his sense of wonder and exploration, form the backbone of the ''Voyages''. Part of the reason for the broad appeal of his work was the sense that the reader could really learn knowledge of

Theme

In a late interview, Verne affirmed that Hetzel's ambitious commission had become the running literary theme of his novel sequence: However, Verne made clear that his own object was more literary than scientific, saying "I do not in any way pose as a scientist" and explaining in another interview:

Publication

In the system developed by Hetzel for the ''Voyages Extraordinaires'', each of Verne's novels was published successively in several different formats. This resulted in as many as four distinct editions of each text (labeled here according to current practice for Verne bibliographies): * Éditions pré-originales (pre-original editions): Serialization in a periodical, usually Hetzel's own biweekly ''Magasin d'Éducation et de récréation'' ("Magazine of Education and Recreation", founded 1864). The serialized installments were illustrated by artists on Hetzel's staff, such as Édouard Riou,

Continued appeal

Jules Verne remains to this day the most translated science fiction author in the world as well as one of the most continually reprinted and widely read French authors. Though often scientifically outdated, his ''Voyages'' still retain their sense of wonder that appealed to readers of his time, and still provoke an interest in the sciences among the young. The ''Voyages'' are frequently adapted into film, from Georges Méliès' fanciful 1902 film ''
