We return here to the idea that Jules Verne introduced science into the novel, while others contributed physiology to it. On reading it, one discovers that the Verne novel is also an eminent site of physiology, albeit a burlesque physiology that resembles an attack against Zola’s experimental novel, and which is valuable both as an analysis of the passions, the irony of normality and social diagnosis, and as the definition of a poetics of the character and of dialogue.
