Novels[edit]

By definition, a novel is fictional. There is no such thing as a non-fiction novel. There are non-fiction narratives of several kinds, however.

so why didnt you just change the word "novels" to "works" as i just did?(mercurywoodrose)75.61.139.47 (talk) 05:05, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Novels can be based on true events but semi-fictionalized. For example the names of the characters can be different from the actual people they are equivalents of while the events remain more or less the same, so it can be semi-fictional if you know what I mean.-Taeyebaar (talk) 08:59, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Captain Hatteras[edit]

"The first of Verne's novels to carry the title Voyages Extraordinaires was The Adventures of Captain Hatteras, which was the third of all his novels."

Did it carry the title in its first edition of 1866 (we say)?

Anyway, does the image show the first edition that carried the title?

third novel? This list gives earlier first publication dates for V.E. numbers 1,3,4 (what principle orders the list?) and our book articles call all three of them novels.
