"A Drama in the Air" (French: ""'Un drame dans les airs'"" ) is an adventure short story by Jules Verne.
 The story was first published in August 1851 under the title "Science for families.
 A Voyage in a Balloon" ("La science en famille.
 Un voyage en ballon") in "Musée des familles" with five illustrations by Alexandre de Bar.
 In 1874, with six illustrations by Émile-Antoine Bayard, it was included in "Doctor Ox", the only collection of Jules Verne’s short stories published during Verne’s lifetime.

Mysterious Island (UK: Jules Verne's Mysterious Island) is a 1961 science fiction adventure film about civil war prisoners who escape in a balloon and then find themselves stranded on a remote island populated by giant mutated animals.
 Based very loosely upon the 1874 novel "The Mysterious Island" ("L'Île mystérieuse") by Jules Verne (which was the sequel to two other novels by Verne, 1867's "In Search of the Castaways" and 1870's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea"), the film was produced by Charles H. Schneer and directed by Cy Endfield.
 Shot in Spain and at Shepperton Studios, Shepperton, England, the film serves as a showcase for Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation effects.
 Like several of Harryhausen's classic productions, the musical score was composed by Bernard Herrmann.
Michael Strogoff: The Courier of the Czar (French: "Michel Strogoff" ) is a novel written by Jules Verne in 1876.
 Critics, including Leonard S. Davidow, consider it one of Verne's best books.
 Davidow wrote, "Jules Verne has written no better book than this, in fact it is deservedly ranked as one of the most thrilling tales ever written."
 Unlike some of Verne's other novels, it is not science fiction, but a scientific phenomenon (Leidenfrost effect) is a plot device.
 The book was later adapted to a play, by Verne himself and Adolphe d'Ennery.
 Incidental music to the play was written by Alexandre Artus in 1880.
 The book has been adapted several times for films, television and cartoon series.

The Mysterious Island (French: "L'Île mystérieuse" ) is a novel by Jules Verne, published in 1874.
 The original edition, published by Hetzel, contains a number of illustrations by Jules Férat.
 The novel is a crossover sequel to Verne's famous "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and "In Search of the Castaways", though its themes are vastly different from those books.
 An early draft of the novel, initially rejected by Verne's publisher and wholly reconceived before publication, was titled "Shipwrecked Family: Marooned With Uncle Robinson," seen as indicating the influence on the novel of "Robinson Crusoe" and "The Swiss Family Robinson".
 Verne developed a similar theme in his later novel, "Godfrey Morgan" (French: "L'École des Robinsons", 1882).
