Romance de fase madura do aclamado Jules Verne, autor de Viagem ao centro da terra, Volta ao mundo em 80 dias, entre outros, traz uma aventura que tem os Estados Unidos do século XIX como cenário.O testamento de um excentrico , publicado em 1899, foi um dos ultimos romances escritos por Jules Verne (1828-1905). Nele, o escritor que se tornou celebre no mundo todo por suas viagens extraordinarias cria uma historia que se passa inteiramente nos Estados Unidos e traça um panorama detalhado do pais e de suas diversas regies no final do seculo XIX. William J. Hypperbone, o excentrico do titulo, e um milionario de Chicago que no tem herdeiros e resolve deixar sua fortuna estimada em 60 milhes de dolares para aquele que, entre seis concorrentes escolhidos por sorteio, chegar antes ao final de um jogo de tabuleiro. A competiço, cujas regras fazem parte das disposiçes testamentarias do defunto, baseia-se no modelo do Nobre Jogo do Ganso, no qual os jogadores se movem sobre um tabuleiro de acordo com o numero obtido no lance dos dados. Na verso Hypperbone do jogo, cada casa do tabuleiro representa um estado americano. Assim, conforme os dados so lançados, os participantes se deslocam, de trem, a pe ou a cavalo, de barco ou de bicicleta, para os quatro cantos do pais. Precisam enfrentar uma serie de obstaculos, idas e vindas, ate o primeiro alcançar a 63ª casa do tabuleiro, correspondente ao estado de Illinois. Durante o periplo dos personagens, o autor aproveita para descrever as paisagens, dar informaçes sobre as cidades e regies visitadas pelos jogadores. Nos ultimos anos, O testamento de um excentrico, fruto de uma fase madura de Verne, vem sendo redescoberto pela critica na França. Menos conhecido que seus outros romances, ele foi incluido na celebre Bibliotheque de la Pleiade em 2016, e avaliado como a obra mais moderna do autor, que teria inspirado escritores como Raymond Queneau, Julio Cortazar e Georges Perec, que retomaram a ideia do jogo em suas obras. O livro, traduzido por Mauro Baladi e Regina Schopke, autora tambem do posfacio, e publicado pela primeira vez no Brasil.

Une fantasie du Doctor Ox (edición ilustrada por el danés Lorenz Froelich)Este pequeño relato humorístico tiene lugar en una pequeña y acogedora aldea de Flandes, Quinquedone, un lugar apacible, de gente hospitalaria y feliz. Alli, un cientifico loco, el doctor Ox y su fiel asistente Ygene (la suma de ambos nombres da como resultado la palabra oxigeno) planean revolucionar el pueblo con la instalacion de un alumbrado a base de gas oxhidrico .El uso del gas en cuestion tiene la particularidad de transformar a los dociles ciudadanos en individuos agresivos, irascibles, al borde del desquicio. Pronto, el lector se da cuenta de que el buen proyecto del Doctor Ox es solo una cortina de humo, ya que en realidad su maquina de gas prodigiosa sirve para modificar a su voluntad el temperamento de los habitantes de Quinquedone, a los que usara como conejillos de indias para su experimento. Verne nos esboza la caricatura de la burguesia flamenca parodiando los convencionalismos de la alta sociedad ridiculizada por el duo comico del alcalde Van Tricasse y su consejero Niklausse.Julio Verne nos muestra con Ox que detras de la farsa comica se puede ocultar una satira social, cuestionar la etica cientifica o hacer una profunda reflexion sobre la naturaleza humana.
