Jules Verne
The Tribulations of a Chinaman.
<p>Blue cloth binding. Gilt title with black image of figures lying on the waves with sails.</p><p>First full UK translation. An increasingly rare book in good condition. Tribulations of a Chinaman in China French: Les Tribulations d'un Chinois en Chine is an adventure novel by Jules Verne first published in 1879. The story is about a rich Chinese man Kin-Fo who is bored with life and after some business misfortune decides to die.</p><p>Somewhat of a bizarre book but one with a happy ending.</p><p>Illustration from the French Edition.</p><p>The book is a traditional adventure similar in style to Around the World in Eighty Days one of the author's better-known books. However it does contain more humour as well as criticism of topics such as the British opium trade in China. An English translation was serialized in The Leisure Hour in 1880 much of this translation forms the basis of this book.</p><p>The Leisure Hour was a British general-interest periodical of the Victorian era which ran weekly from 1852 to 1905. It was the most successful of several popular magazines published by the Religious Tract Society which produced Christian literature for a wide audience. Each issue mixed multiple genres of fiction and factual stories historical and topical. The magazine's title referred to campaigns that had decreased work hours giving workers extra leisure time. Until 1876 it carried the subtitle "A Family Journal of Instruction and Recreation"; after that the subtitle changed to "An illustrated magazine for home reading". Each issue cost one penny and contained 16 pages. The layout typically included approximately six long articles formatted in two columns per page and five or six illustrations. The articles were a mix including biographies poetry essays and fiction. Each issue usually started with a piece of serialised fiction.</p><p>The creation of the magazine was partly a response to non-religious popular magazines that the Religious Tract Society saw as delivering a "pernicious" morality to the working classes. The ethos of the magazine was guided by Sabbatarianism: the campaign to keep Sunday as a day of rest. It aimed to treat its diverse subjects "in the light of Christian truth". Despite this The Leisure Hour carried far fewer statements of Christian doctrine than the Society's other publications. Compared to other popular magazines of the time The Leisure Hour had a greater emphasis on fiction.</p><p>Two days before the magazine's launch in 1852 a warehouse fire destroyed the first batch of The Leisure Hour so replacement copies had to be printed. The magazine was edited by William Haig Miller until 1858 James Macaulay from 1858 to 1895 and William Stevens from 1895 to 1900. Harold Copping was one of its illustrators. Authors were initially only credited by initials rather than by name giving the writing a collective rather than individual authority though naming of authors became more common from the 1870s onwards. In its jubilee issue published in 1902 the magazine identified 111 authors who had contributed.</p><p>Jules Gabriel Verne 8 February 1828 – 24 March 1905>was a French novelist poet and playwright. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages extraordinaires a series of bestselling adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth 1864 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas 1870 and Around the World in Eighty Days 1872. His novels always well documented are generally set in the second half of the 19th century taking into account the technological advances of the time.</p><p>In addition to his novels he wrote numerous plays short stories autobiographical accounts poetry songs and scientific artistic and literary studies. His work has been adapted for film and television since the beginning of cinema as well as for comic books theater opera music and video games.</p><p>Verne is considered to be an important author in France and most of Europe where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His reputation was markedly different in the Anglosphere where he had often been labeled a writer of genre fiction or children's books largely because of the highly abridged and altered translations in which his novels have often been printed. Since the 1980s his literary reputation has improved.</p><p>Jules Verne has been the second most-translated author in the world since 1979 ranking below Agatha Christie and above William Shakespeare. He has sometimes been called the "father of science fiction" a title that has also been given to H. G. Wells and Hugo Gernsback. In the 2010s he was the most translated French author in the world. In France 2005 was declared "Jules Verne Year" on the occasion of the centenary of the writer's death.</p> Sampson Low Marston & Rivington. hardcover

Jules Verne
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas
London: Sampson Low Marston Low & Searle 1875. First edition seventh printing. Hardcover. Illustrated by Alphonse de Neuville and Édouard Riou engraved by Henri Théophile Hildibrand. This is the seventh printing of the first English language edition in the compellingly illustrated publishers original purple cloth stamped in gilt and black. This complete unrestored copy is in very good minus overall condition. The binding is square and tight though with shelf wear to the beveled edge corners and spine ends and light overall scuffing. The spine is mildly toned but uniformly so and with black and gilt illustrations and print still clearly legible. The contents are clean and complete including the one hundred and twelve illustrations. We find no appreciable spotting and no previous owner names. Imparting lovely Victorian London provenance affixed to the upper left front pastedown is the tiny printed booksellers ticket of HARRISON Bookseller to the Queen 59 Pall Mall. There is mild age-toning light soiling of the endpapers and the gilt page edges show some scuffing. The binding is protected beneath a clear removable mylar cover. <br /> <br />The first British edition printed in late 1872 though dated 1873 was the first English language edition following the French first edition of 1870. Though erroneously designated SEVENTH EDITION on the title page this copy is actually the 1875 seventh printing of the first British edition. The binding is illustrated just as that of the first printing though in purple cloth rather than green. <br /> <br />Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas is perhaps the most popular book of Vernes science-fiction series Voyages extraordinaires 18631905 his herculean 54-novel effort to complete before my working days are done a series which shall conclude in story form my whole survey of the worlds surface and the heavens. <br /> <br />Professor Pierre Aronnax the narrator of the story boards an American frigate commissioned to investigate a rash of attacks on international shipping by what is thought to be an amphibious monster. The supposed sea creature which is actually the submarine Nautilus sinks Aronnaxs vessel and he is held prisoner along with his devoted servant Conseil and Ned Land a temperamental harpooner. The survivors meet Captain Nemo an enigmatic misanthrope who leads them on a worldwide yearlong underwater adventure. The novel is noted for its exotic situations the technological innovations it describes and the tense interplay of the three captives and Nemo who reappears in Vernes The Mysterious Island. <br /> <br />Verne is one of the most translated authors in the world and Twenty Thousand Leagues among the world's most translated books. The story was first serialized in the French periodical Magasin déducation et de recreation. Swiftly thereafter came French publication as a book lavishly illustrated by Alphonse de Neuville and Édouard Riou their illustrations engraved by Henri Théophile Hildibrand. These illustrations were used in the first British and first U.S. editions. <br /> <br />Prolific and inventive Verne was already well-known when Twenty Thousand Leagues was published but it was this adventure that would prove perhaps preeminently influential and enduringly popular among his canon and serve as a foundational work in the emergent science fiction genre. <br/><br/> Sampson Low, Marston, Low, & Searle hardcover
