Fifty-four of these novels were originally published during the author's lifetime between 1863 and 1905, and eight of his novels were published after his death. Posthumous novels were published under Jules Verne's name, but in some cases were heavily altered or written entirely by his son Michel Verne. According to Verne's editor Pierre-Jules Hetzel, the purpose of the voyage was to "outline all the geographical outlines". Geological, physical, historical, astronomical knowledge accumulated by modern science, and told in an entertaining and picturesque format... the history of the universe. Verne's meticulous attention to detail and scientific trivia, and his sense of wonder and exploration, form the backbone of Voyages.
