I'll take another guess... In the last picture there's something that looks like a lighthouse. Could it be The Lighthouse at the End of the World?
It would also be consistent with the wreck, and those people might be pillaging it.

So, it wasn't my first guess but it was still a posthumous novel.

OK, how about this book chosen randomly as always:   |

Ok, I will wager one guess before allowing others to have a shot. The first image looks urban, as does the second, and the burning building is a big clue. It may be one of the novels I haven't read...
Is it Family Without a Name?

Is it Family Without a Name? Reasonable guess, but no, it's not that one. Have another picture from the same book as clue:  |

That's correct. The illustrations are from P'tit-Bonhomme, or Foundling Mick as it's been titled in English. Would you care to choose an Extraordinary Voyage randomly (for example by using a random number generator to get a random number between 1 and 62) and post a few images for the rest of us to guess? If not, I'll post another one tomorrow. |

Ah, I don't think I was going to guess that one. I've never read even a summary of this one. Is it good?

It's not among my favorite Vernes, but it's not bad, and I enjoyed it. It's the only Verne novel set in Ireland, showing the plight of Irish people under English misrule, and it's him doing a social novel, a bit like Dickens did in Oliver Twist, also with influence from Horatio Alger's rags-to-riches stories. I wrote a short review which you can see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/julesverne/comments/1ex7eek/reading_vernes_voyages_extraordinaires_39/ |

Ok, I have placed three images below all from the same novel for people to guess. I used a random number generator to select one. Again, apologies for my inability to make them big (if anyone knows how please tell me, I'm really bad with tech related things despite growing up around computers haha). If you click on the image, it will appear bigger and you will see more details.

Hello there! This looks like a fun game! Anyway, my guess is North Against South because of the soldiers.

There is a cloud service called Imgur where you can upload pictures and then paste the link in your post. The image will automatically appear larger. Here's the link to Imgur: imgur.com/I recommend registering so your uploads won't disappear. I'll create a tutorial on how to edit posts properly in the near future, so it will be clear for everyone. It’s definitely a little frustrating. |
