Mr. Chimp & Other Plays (hardback)

"The Palik Series of Jules Verne, Published in conjunction with the North American Jules Verne Society, Edited by Brian Taves"
Long before Verne stories had formed the basis
for such movies as Around the World in 80 Days,
many of his plays were theatrical blockbusters on
the 19th century stage. Expert scholarly research
introduces four of Verne's plays written in his youth,
translated by Frank Morlock. Verne's themes range
from romantic comedies to a scientist's discovery that
there may not be such a difference between human
and ape after all!
