Jules Verne

📔 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas

1869

Amongst the fish that the Nautilus frightened as it passed, I will cite the metre-long cyclopteroid with a black back and orange stomach, providing an example of conjugal fidelity rarely followed by its congeners, a huge Forsskal's stingray, a sort of emerald moray eel which has a excellent taste, big-eyed carracks whose heads resemble dogs', blennies viviparous like snakes, 20-centimetre frillgobies or black gudgeons, and Macrura with long tails and shining with a silvery glitter: quick fish that had ventured far from hyperborean seas.

📔 Robur the Conqueror

1886

He was a bachelor, he lived quietly, and for his only servant had his valet Frycollin, who was hardly worthy of being the servant to so audacious a master.
