‎The Mysterious Island. Part First Shipwrecked in the Air‎

‎Boston: Henry L. Shepard and Company 1875. First US edition pirated. Hardcover. Good. 202 2 p. interspersed with plates. 19 cm. Frontispiece portrait and 41 other b&w plates. "Cyrus Harding knelt on the sand" is missing but two plates are added not listed in illustrations: "An interesting scientific operation" and an unnamed plate towards rear. Green cloth with black and gold impressing. On the front cover Top the dog is thrown into the air as the castaways watch. Mylar wrap removed for photos. Corners worn spine ends torn small dents and shelf wear to edges. Hole in front hinge small chips and tears to prelims cracking at pp. 98 and 190 soiling throughout. <br/><br/>Part 1 of "The Mysterious Island" trilogy. Rear advertising pages announce Part Second will appear in American Homes magazine also published by Henry L. Shepard & Co. Shepard had also serialized Part First probably to create interest in this pirated edition. Last ad page advertises "A Journey to the Centre of the Earth" complete with an illustration. <br /> <br />Oddly the editor of American Homes Eggleston complained in an 1875 editorial that "The Mysterious Island" had extended into too many volumes three - all filled with a long catalogue of minute details. While some reviewers found the level of detail in the work tedious others praised Verne's new version of "Robinson Crusoe" with modern improvements. <br /> <br />Kingston's translation made a few changes from Verne's original French; the hero's surname is changed from Smith to Harding and many technical passages are abridged or omitted. Unfortunately Kingston's became the standard translation. <br /> <br />Myers 42. Taves and Michaluk V013. Henry L. Shepard and Company hardcover‎

‎The Mysterious Island Trilogy: Dropped From the Clouds Abandoned and The Secret of the Island.‎

‎New York: Scribner Armstrong & Co 1875-1876. First editions in English of each volume in Jules Verne's The Mysterious Island trilogy. Octavo three volumes in the original publisher's pictorial cloth all edges gilt illustrated with engravings including tissue-guarded frontispieces. Translated from the French by W.H.G. Kingston. Each volume is in very good condition. A sharp set. Often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction" French novelist Jules Verne had a wide influence on on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages Extraordinaires a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth 1864 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea 1870 and Around the World in Eighty Days 1873. Verne's The Mysterious Island is a crossover sequel to Verne's famous Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and In Search of the Castaways though its themes are vastly different from those books. An early draft of the novel initially rejected by Verne's publisher and wholly reconceived before publication was titled Shipwrecked Family: Marooned with Uncle Robinson indicating the influence of Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and Johann David Wyss' Swiss Family Robinson on the thematic structure of the trilogy. In September of 1875 Sampson Low Marston Low and Searle published the first British edition of Mysterious Island in three volumes entitled Dropped from the Clouds The Abandoned and The Secret of the Island. The trilogy has been adapted numerous times for film television and radio broadcast. Scribner, Armstrong, & Co hardcover‎
