The experience of the traveller consisting of a series of moves in space produces a phenomenon of a new order, one by which geography overtakes(sollama,gecme) knowledge.
"Our geography invades(istila) the planet.This is the second voyage(yolculuk), the reappropration(yeniden tahsis etme, kendine mal etme) through(-den) knowledge.
Geography is nothing else, its birth is there, at the moment at which knowledge becomes universal, in spatial terms and not by virtue of any right"
Space makes an inventory of the adventures of the knowledge, omitting(icine almmamk ihmal) nothing ; knowledge traces a cartography (haritacılık)of known land, omitting nothing.

The minute filling in of terrestrial(dunyevi,karasal) reaches and the exhaustive account of cycles of knowledge are one and the same operation and permit(izin) The Extraordinary Voyages to establish the diffucult relationship between the spatial or geographic model and the model of knowledge as encyclopedia. The (re)emergence of this language of paths, routes movements, planes, and maps, this spatial language of the writting of the world(geo-graphy), marks the moments of passage toward a new epistemology...To read and to journey are one and the same act.
(Michel Serres commenting on JulesVerne's The Extraordinary Voyages in Hermes: Literature, Science, Philosophy, 1982:xxi
