Not to be dramatic,

But I would die for Jacques Eliacin François Marie Paganel, Secretary of the geographical Society of Paris.

Speaking of Jules Verne why is there so little Jaques Paganel appreciation on this site? He would fit right in!

В общем, эстетика на моего самого любимого француза: Жака Паганеля. Мало кто с ним знаком, потому вот ключевые черты: география (и все, что с ней связано), круглые очки, теплые тона, а дальше уже как хотите. Спасибо еще раз

As I've said before, Captain Nemo reminds me of my husband, but FINALLY I think I've found the Jules Verne character I personally relate to.

Jacques Eliacin François Marie Paganel, secretary of the Geographical Society of Paris from "In Search of the Castaways."

Seldom do I come across a character who I find so relatable on a personal level. Throughout the entire story I kept thinking, "I am Paganel; Paganel is me. We are the same person." (Except of course I am a young-ish American lady and he's a middle-ish aged Frenchman. But c'est comme ça!)

Paganel has all the textbook symptoms of ADHD down to a t, but his eccentricities prove to be some of his greatest assets and he ends up becoming indispensable to his friends. This geeky weirdo of a man carried the expedition, not to mention the narrative, and the characters wouldn't have made it far without him. I loved to see this (accidental) representation in this classic novel well before psychology was even a well-established science!

People have always been the same and it's wonderful to be able to relate to them through the generations

I've been enjoying "In Search of the Castaways/The Children of Captain Grant."
