This page says: "In truth the whereabouts of the manuscript were known for many years, the story of the discovery was created as a marketing ploy."
Now, the current article offers no proof that it was REALLY found in 1989, and that page offers no proof that the discovery was just a marketing ploy. How should the article be modified?

Shouldn't this book be in the public domain like other works of Verne are? I couldn't find it on any online Verne library. 193.171.121.30 18:18, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
The book was written in the 19th century, but it wasnt published until very recently, thus its copyright will still hold for the nexy century or so. 128.208.40.60 05:18, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/15959/french-copyright-law-for-posthumous-works-a-book suggests, that the contents of the french version will join the public domain in 2019 or 2020; at least in france. The book was published more then 70 years after the authors death, thus the clause about 25 years after publication takes effect. 217.9.115.81 ( talk) 07:25, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
I doubt that Verne thought of the internet as such, when he talked about a 'Worldwide communication network', considering that the television had not yet been invented. I think it's more likely that Verne would have been thinking of some sort of worldwide telegraph network, or if he was being extra fanciful, perhaps some sort of worldwide gramophone network, whereby people could listen to other people's voices, anywhere in the world.
The first concept of a fax machine was 1851, so it predated this book by a few years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tthackrey ( talk • contribs) 18:16, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
I think the characterization of the Louvre's centerpiece in Verne's novel as "geometric" and "modern" is inaccurate. Verne wrote:
"... Are there sculptors, at least? None whatsoever, ever since they planted the Muse of Industry right in the middle of the Louvre courtyard: a vigorous shrew crouching over some sort of cylinder, holding a viaduct on her knees, pumping with one hand, working a bellows with the other, a necklace of little locomotives around her neck, and a lightning rod in her chignon!"
This bears little resemblance to the modern abstract pyramid, and the suggestion that it does is misleading.

He didn't freeze to death. He merely collapsed in the snow (last line of the book)

I don't known why this book is still not in public domain. Could You explain it more? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries%27_copyright_length_based_on_publication_and_creation_dates states that this is in public domain, even in USA or UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.68.103.25 ( talk) 12:31, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
