VERNE JULES; BAXTER EDWARD EDITOR; DUMAS OLIVIER PREFACE TO THE FRENCH EDITION
The Golden Volcano: The First English Translation Of Verne's Original Manuscript
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln: 2008. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The Golden Volcano thrusts two Canadian cousins�unexpectedly bequeathed a mining claim in the Klondike�into the middle of the gold rush where they encounter disease disaster extremes of weather and human nature twisted by a passion for gold. A deathbed confidence sends the two searching for a fabulous gold-filled volcano on the shore of the Arctic Ocean. But nature both human and physical hasn't finished with them and their story plays out with the nail-biting adventure of an action thriller and the moral and emotional force of high drama. Like many of the works left unpublished when Jules Verne died The Golden Volcano was altered and edited by his son Michel. This first translation from the original manuscript allows readers of English to rediscover the pleasures of Verne's storytelling in its original form�and to enjoy a virtually unknown gem of action adventure and style from a master of French literature. Jules Verne 1828-1905 the most translated author in the world wrote The Meteor Hunt and Lighthouse at the End of the World both available in Bison Books editions. Edward Baxter is one of the foremost English translators of Jules Verne. Among his translations are Verne's Invasion of the Sea and Journey Through the Impossible. Olivier Dumas who wrote the preface to the French edition is president of the Jules Verne Society in France and one of the world's leading experts on Verne. "It's spiked with 'gold fever' and an insatiable lust for difficult travel that should make today's Lonely Planeteers take notice."�Publishers Weekly "Baxter's new annotated text of The Golden Volcano has a twofold value: it's the first to be based on Jules Verne's original manuscript plus it provides a clear modern rendering of a first-rate action thriller. It echoes Bret Harte's westerns while anticipating Jack London's arctic sagas and some of the scene painting here is horrifyingly naturalistic�see for instance the scenes of desolation and death along Chilkoot Pass. The Golden Volcano is a work of exceptional power and interest."�Frederick Paul Walter Verne translator and trustee of the North American Jules Verne Society "The Golden Volcano is a beautifully written and elegantly translated adventure tale with a biting social commentary. It is a page-turner as well as a piece of literary history�a truly stirring and unusual work."�Peter Schulman translator of Verne's The Secret of Wilhelm Storitz "Proof that the Frenchman's fiction never disappoints this version is the first authentic English translation of Verne's original manuscript and restores the story as he originally wrote it. . . . Full of adventure and action the novel also succeeds in providing social commentary on the evils of greed and debauchery. The differences between Verne's manuscript and his son's are highlighted in the preface and demonstrate how his son's unfortunate rewrites completely altered a wonderful story that includes fascinating depictions of the arctic wilderness and the hardships of living there."�Erica Swenson Library Journal This work has received a Florence Gould Foundation award.

The Green Ray
London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1883. The Scarcest of All Verne First Editions VERNE Jules. The Green Ray. Translated From the French by Mary de Hautville. London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1883. First British edition and First edition in English the five shillings issue with plain edges with 32 page publisher's catalogue September 1883 at rear. Octavo 7 x 4 3/4 in; 178 x 121 mm. viii 312 32 publisher's catalog pp. Frontispiece title vignette and forty-three black and white plates included in pagination by L. Benett reprinted from the first French edition. One map. Publishers ochre cloth front cover pictorially decorated in red and black title lettered in gilt rear cover decoratively bordered in blind spine pictorially decorated in red and black and lettered in gilt blue-gray floral endpapers. The mildest of rubbing to the extremities internally immaculate a near fine and untouched copy. The scarcest of all Verne first editions. Only two copies have come to auction within the last thirty-six years one rebound the other "becoming loose." Published in September 1883 a month before George Munro's pirated "Seaside Library" edition. The Green Ray was something of a departure for Verne a love story set in Scotland wherein a girl refuses to marry the man her uncles have chosen for her unless she sees the mysterious "green ray" which would tell her it is true love. After numerous failed attempts the phenomenon eventually becomes visible but the couple gazing into each other's eyes miss it. Green flashes or rays are actual optical phenomena that occur shortly after sunset or before sunrise when a green spot is visible for a short period of time above the sun or a green ray shoots up from the sunset point. It is usually observed from a low altitude where there is an unobstructed view of the horizon such as on the ocean. Taves & Michaluk V023. Myers 31. <br/><br/> London: Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, & Rivington, 1883 hardcover

Verne Jules
THE GREEN RAY
1883. Translated from the French by Mary de Hauteville. London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1883. 32 pp ads dated Nov 1882. Original ochre cloth pictorially decorated in brown black and green. First British Edition and first edition in English. This tale is a bit different from many of Verne's -- a love story sited in Scotland though as always with its share of scientific imponderables a girl refuses to marry the man her uncles have chosen for her unless she sees the mysterious "green ray" which would tell her it is true love. The front cover shows Helena and Oliver with eyes fixed upon one another while the crowd behind them has all eyes fixed upon "the green ray." This British edition was published in September 1883 -- a month before George Munro's pirated version in his wrappered "Seaside Library"; there was no American hardbound edition of this Verne tale until 1965. In our experience THE GREEN RAY is one of the very few toughest UK first editions of Jules Verne to find today: why we do not know but several others that followed THE GREEN RAY are close in scarcity KERABAN THE INFLEXIBLE of 1884 MATHIAS SANDORF of 1886 A LOTTERY TICKET of 1886 THE CLIPPER OF THE CLOUDS of 1887 NORTH AGAINST SOUTH of 1887 THE PURCHASE OF THE NORTH POLE of 1890 A FAMILY WITHOUT A NAME of 1890 and FOUNDLING MICK of 1895. This copy is in ochre cloth; the one other color we have seen is mauve-grey -- both with the same pictorial design mauve-grey we have seen both with and without gilt pages edges; ochre we have seen only without as here. The ad catalogue in this copy is dated November 1882 -- almost a year before publication -- which is the earliest GREEN RAY ad catalogue we have seen the others being Sept 1883 and Oct 1884. This is a very good copy quite attractive externally but recased within its original binding with stiffened spine and with black tape along the original endpapers' hinges; there is an 1899 school prize inscription on the front endpaper verso.
