The Television Adaptations of Jules Verne’s Novels Michel Strogoff and Mathias Sandorf

In the 1970s, two of Verne’s novels (Michel Strogoff and Mathias Sandorf) were adapted for television in a European coproduction. These television series update Verne’s novelistic universe. Just as the work of the French novelist questioned Europe, so they offer a reflection on Europe. The aim is to study this European dimension on the one hand at the level of production and on the other hand at the level of representation.
