The biographer clearly has it in big time for Verne's long time publisher, Hetzel. No doubt he may well have been greedy and at times excessively change Verne's drafts. But if he was really the evil Svengali that Butcher presents, why did Verne stick with him for so many decades? The naïvety of the author doesn't really convince as a complete explanation for this depiction. I think Butcher is too ready to write off the published versions as somehow being illegitimate travesties of Verne's intentions. Where I think he is on stronger ground is in debunking the notion that Verne was a SF writer; really he was a writer of adventure and exploration thrillers. ( )
