Zitate Jules Verne

„Das Meer bedeckt sieben Zehntel der Erdoberfläche, und der Seewind ist rein und gesund. In dieser unermeßlichen Einöde ist der Mensch doch nie allein; denn er fühlt das Leben um ihn herum; ein übernatürliches wundervolles Dasein rührt sich in demselben; es ist nur Bewegung und Liebe.“

Ch. XLI: The great explosion and the rush down below These sentences, from an early translation of the book (Griffith and Farran, 1871), have no source in the original French text.

„Hobson perceived with some alarm that bears were very numerous in the neighbourhood and that scarcely a day passed without one or more of them being sighted. Sometimes these unwelcome visitors belonged to the family of brown bears, so common throughout the whole "Cursed Land"; but now and then a solitary specimen of the formidable Polar bear warned the hunters what dangers they might have to encounter as soon as the first frost should drive great numbers of these fearful animals to the neighborhood of Cape Bathurst. Every book of Arctic explorations is full of accounts of the frequent perils in which travelers and whalers are exposed from the ferocity of these animals.“

— Jules Verne
