Jules Verne

The Castle in Transylvania

“This book is an illuminating rarity among Verne’s output, a Gothic-steeped romance whose scientific aspects are kept hidden till the climax…. let us pay homage to the fine new translation by the experienced and talented Charlotte Mandell…. This creative upgrade in the quality of the prose and fidelity to the original text persists throughout the novel, and sets high standards for the reader’s enjoyment….Verne’s tale remains compulsively readable.”
Paul DiFilippo, Salon
