A parody of Jules Verne's Voyages extraordinaires, it was published in over one hundred installments[1] between 1879 and 1880.[2] It was first translated in English by Brian Stableford as The Adventures of Saturnin Farandoul. The novel proved to be very successful in Italy, where it was adapted into a 1913 Italian silent film, Le avventure straordinarissime di Saturnino Farandola, directed and interpreted by Marcel Fabre[2][3] and into a RAI TV-series starring Mariano Rigillo and Daria Nicolodi in 1977.[3][4]
A comic adaptation by Pier Lorenzo De Vita was published on Topolino in 1938 and 1940,[3][5] and a three-parts sequel starring Donald Duck in the title role, still written by De Vita and drawn by Guido Martina, was published in 1959.[3] The novel also inspired the Bonvi's comic series Marzolino Tarantola.[6][7]
