3.0 out of 5 stars Tapestry of Temporal Travel, October 12, 2009
This review is from: Yesterday and Tomorrow (Mass Market Paperback)
Tapestry of Temporal Travel

This particular edition's cover features an illustration from the first of eight short stories in this Jules Verne anthology. Edited by I. O. Evans YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW offers an eclectic group of tales which span the ancient past, the surrealistic or humorous present, and the distant future. In these almost 200 pages Verne explores various aspects of the human condition: the continuity of civilization, a desperate attempt to achieve justice in the penal system, light satires on municipal progress and advice for novice hunters, plus Gothic horror in a surrealistic milieu, American entrepreneurship in the 21st century, and in a Swiss village from a child's viewpoint. Even British imperialism comes under literary fire.

Some stories seem to be "fillers," while one was written on his death bed--in short, there is something for all tastes. Jules Verne--the Inventor of the Future, according to Franz Born--reveals some literary inspiration from other sci fi/fantasy authors. Despite varying length and styles there are selections sure to please devotees of Jules Verne. (Best read on a dark and stormy night by a cozy fire...)
