Journey to the Centre of the Earth

Apparently, my copy of Journey to the Centre of the Earth is not, despite the touchstone, by Jules Verne but is an English adaptation.

The copyright page says "First published in English by Griffith and Farran, 1871, this edition is not a translation but a complete re-write of the novel, with portions added and omitted, and names changed."

But when I look at the editions page here on LT (https://www.librarything.com/work/41564/editions/298728404), which I arrived at from the ISBN, it says:

"Disambiguation Notice

This is the main work for A Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne. Please do not combine with any adaptation, abridgement, etc."

Obviously something has gone wrong somewhere, but I don't know what or how to fix it.

Without an active link, I'm not even going to look at this.

Links won't work with parentheses around them. You need to put a space between the parenthesis at each end of the link.
