The experience transformed him, opening his eyes to exotic adventures—and to a new mode of writing. The sole surviving chapter of his autobiographical work, completed at about the same time as he met his lifelong publisher and surely his most personal piece, brilliantly recounts his reasons for travelling and his preparations in a henceforth “suffocating” Paris. None of his subsequent masterpieces would have been possible without Verne’s Joyous Miseries.

Molti calcoli puntuali sono accompagnati da una vena ironica che descrive le reazioni e i caratteri degli americani in previsione della grande impresa. Pubblicato nel 1846, è impressionante la somiglianza a quello che poi avvenne 104 anni dopo, anche se, ovviamente, con un finale diverso.
