The Library and Jules Verne come together again in 2000, when the metropolis of Amiens acquired the Gondolo della Riva collection, dedicated to the writer, his work and its reception in the world. This collection is kept in this building, consists of almost 20,000 documents and objects and mainly contains the letters that the publisher Jules Hetzel and Jules Verne sent each other, various handwritten pieces by the writer, such as his travel reports and personal objects, such as his writing box and his world map.

“By choosing my field of study, I was able to move further within literature; it was more important to me than anything else, practically a way of life through which I could immerse myself in a novel by Flaubert or Virginia Woolf and truly live in it for a while. Literature was a kind of continent that I unconsciously contrasted with my social class. I could only understand writing as a transformation of reality,” said the French writer Annie Ernaux on the occasion of being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in December 2022.
