Similarities between Jules Verne and Leonardo Da Vinci
Had the opportunity to ask the author ,French Count Gonzaque St Bris , to autograph the book for me after his lecture in Lafayette, Louisiana. He pointed out some of the highlights of the book when talking about the Marquis de Lafayette. He mentions that Leonardo Da Vinci (whose home the Count lives in currently in France) designed and built a home for King Francois...

Mixed feelings
I have to start by saying that I am jules verne fan and seeb in the context of juvenalia this is a decent biography that realy should have been in a different format. I thought this would be a picture book in the tradition of DK, but instead it is a poorly illutrated biography that reads like a young adult book. It really should have been published in a cheaper paperback...

This review is from: The World of Jules Verne (Hardcover)
Had the opportunity to ask the author ,French Count Gonzaque St Bris , to autograph the book for me after his lecture in Lafayette, Louisiana. He pointed out some of the highlights of the book when talking about the Marquis de Lafayette. He mentions that Leonardo Da Vinci (whose home the Count lives in currently in France) designed and built a home for King Francois that had a telephone/intercom system, doors that opened automatically and an indoor water system in the late 1400s. He compares the inventiveness of Jules Verne to Leonardo Da Vinci on many levels. The book is an easy read and very interesting.

It is neither a concise biography of the man nor an evocative picture book and visually falls quite flat. I wish it had been more. |
