In Reply to: What particular paranoia of what era moved Welles? posted by Victor Khomenko on February 17, 2011 at 15:08:23:
Different eras, different causes ...the book (1898) has been suggested as being a commentary on British Imperialism or victorian fears, the radio drama of 1938(I presume you mean this, by 'Welles'?) as a commentary on the uprise of nazism, and the '53 Byron Haskin film as a commentary on communism.
Jules Verne is more the adventurous, heroic side (Great Exhibition etc) of the era although he has been criticised for his anti-semetism.
