I remembered a USSR movie about the Civil war in Russia after the 1917
Revolution. It is not not connected to Verne directly, but however made me
smile. A prison guard guards an arrested person and reads some book. The
latter asks him, "Are you reading? "I am reading 'The Capital', by Karl Marx."
"Wow, interesting?" "Yes, the cramp things I skip, but the proletarian gist I
view." ;-)

Bye, Dallas!
