Voyages Extraordinaires
The story was first printed in April–May 1854 in the magazine "Musée des familles". It was later reprinted by Pierre-Jules Hetzel in the collection "Doctor Ox" (1874), as part of the "Voyages Extraordinaires" series. Two English translations, "Master Zacharius" by George Makepeace Towle and "Master Zachary" by Abby L. Alger, were published in 1874 in different English versions of "Doctor Ox".
