Novels

By definition, a novel is fictional. There is no such thing as a non-fiction novel. There are non-fiction narratives of several kinds, however.

so why didnt you just change the word "novels" to "works" as i just did?(mercurywoodrose)75.61.139.47 (talk) 05:05, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Novels can be based on true events but semi-fictionalized. For example the names of the characters can be different from the actual people they are equivalents of while the events remain more or less the same, so it can be semi-fictional if you know what I mean.-Taeyebaar (talk) 08:59, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Captain Hatteras

"The first of Verne's novels to carry the title Voyages Extraordinaires was The Adventures of Captain Hatteras, which was the third of all his novels."

Did it carry the title in its first edition of 1866 (we say)?

Anyway, does the image show the first edition that carried the title?

third novel? This list gives earlier first publication dates for V.E. numbers 1,3,4 (what principle orders the list?) and our book articles call all three of them novels.

List of Extraordinary Voyages

The list of Extraordinary Voyages has been edited to add for example The Wreck of the "Cynthia" (L'Epave du "Cynthia", 1885), which is a book that was published as written by Jules Verne and Andre Laurie (the pen name of politician Paschal Grousset), but was actually written by Laurie ... more importantly for this article, this book was not published as one of the Extraordinary Voyages.

Also, the titles for the posthumous novels has been changed to the ones used for the recent publication of the original manuscripts by Jules Verne, but those are not the books/titles that were originally published as part of the Extraordinary Voyages. It's true that those were edited/modified by Michel Verne, but since this is the page for the Extraordinary Voyages it seems to me that we should list those.

I'm going to wait to see if there are other points of view, but if not I will revert to the old version of the list, the one before the edits on 21 January 2025 by 103.237.39.183.

In any case, if other editors disagree at some point, let's discuss it here and try to agree on the best approach, because I think this is a situation that can legitimally be interpreted in different ways. Db105 (talk) 16:20, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
