Verne in Latin-spinoff from "Nemo"

Post by Keesa »

On the subject of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," does anyone know if any of Jules Verne's books were ever translated into Latin? <br /><br />Keesa

I must admit that I haven't yet read it in English.<br /><br />Would it be easier to read a book in Latin if you already have the gist of it from reading it in English first?<br /><br />BTW, thanks for creating these new "spinoff" posts here on the Open Board. I'm sure Jeff appreciates this very much.

"L'Histoire du Pierre Lapin" made ever so much sense after I read "The Tale of Peter Rabbit"! ;D<br /><br />BTW, thanks for creating these new "spinoff" posts here on the Open Board.
