Eternal Adam

I recently got a book from my library that had Verne's last ever story. "The Eternial Adam" This story seems like it could have been writen Today instead of 1903.

Wow, I never heard of this one.

The actual author of Eternal Adam has been disputed for years. It is now accepted by most Verne enthusiasts to be written by his son Michel. When Jules Verne died he left his money to his daughters and manuscripts to his son. Not long after Jules death his son published the book claiming it was an unpublished manuscript, we will never know the truth.
