Join Croatian "Jules Verne Club"
http://www.ice.hr/davors/ejvclub.htm
"Jules Verne Club" was initiated at October, 1997, and formally established at 9-th February 1998. in Pazin, Istria, Croatia, with purpose to put together people who like works of famous French author Jules Verne (1828-1905), to popularize reading, translating and publishing of his works, and to encourage studying and researching of his extraordinary opus and life. Direct motivation for establishing "Jules Verne Club" in Pazin is a fact that in his novel "Mathias Sandorf" (1885) Verne wrote about Pazin, his thousand years old castle, and underground cave.

"Jules Verne Club" will announce actions and results here at this site, and through "paper" bulletin which will be free delivered to the members.
Jules Verne wrote about Pazin in his novel "Mathias Sandorf" (1885), and that was a result, besides other, of his correspondence with contemporary mayor of Pazin, Giusepe Cech, and reading works of French writer and traveler Charles Yriarte. In memory of this Jules Verne's novel, Pazin had ( in 1989-1990) an amateur theatre group named "Mathias Sandorf". Today, Pazin has a Jules Verne street (since 1992.), just in a part of town nearby a thousand years old castle, that one which Verne described like Mathias Sandorf's prison. At 9-th February 1998. there was a "Jules Verne Club" established in Pazin, with purpose, besides others, to make more famous a connections between Pazin (and that means Istria and Croatia too), with this extraordinary French writer. Intention is to give deserved cultural and historical meaning to this connection, and to use it as an inspiration for some activities in our time.
We are just at very start of our efforts; so please, take this page as one which is still "under construction", and, for now, have a brief at one little "julesvernian" photo-album of our town.
