Verne Jules
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas
London: Sampson Low Martson Low & Searle 1873. First edition in English. Very Good. Rare first English language edition of Verne's classic work preceding the American edition and much scarcer than the 1873 Smith or Osgood US printings. Publisher's original red cloth stamped in black and gilt rebacked with portions of the spine replaced. Original peach end papers with a contemporary gift inscription and Burns Bindery ticket. All page edges gilt. Generally in good condition internally. A young reader has written comments at the end of the book in pencil that could be erased but we've left them as they are kind of charming. Finally publisher's catalogue "For the season 1872-73" has six pages not eight as seen in some other copies. Whether it's lacking the final advertisement leaf or whether it was issued as such we cannot say. A Very Good copy overall of a very scarce book. A similar copy also rebacked and in cloth brought $8750 at auction Heritage 2018.<br/><br/>"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is arguably Verne's masterpiece. As a classic it has aged wonderfully well: it is escapist fun but it still retains its literary and scientific significance. To dismiss it as simply an adventure story does it a disservice.it is also an eerie tale of isolation and madness packed full with geographica; and scientific accuracies that make the fantastic uncomfortably believable" The Guardian. A work of incredible imagination the novel follows the expedition and capture of Professor Pierre Aronnax as he scours the ocean deeps in search of a mysterious "sea monster" reportedly attacking international vessels. As it turns out the fabulous beast spotted off the coast of New York turns out to be the Nautilus a secret underwater ship constructed for and commanded by Captain Nemo. An incredible work of adventure that explores the depths of the human psyche. Very Good. Sampson Low, Martson, Low, & Searle unknown books

César Caesar Cascabel
iv373 pages with eighty-one plates including frontispiece. Octavo 8 1/2" x 6" bound in the variant mustard cloth with spine and cover lettering in gilt and black pictorial on spine and cover. Translated from the French by A Estoclet. Illustrations by George Roux. First American edition preceding the English edition.<br /><br />Jules Gabriel Verne was a French novelist poet and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction. Verne was born to bourgeois parents in the seaport of Nantes where he was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a lawyer but quit the profession early in life to write for magazines and the stage. 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 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in Eighty Days. Verne is generally considered a major literary author in France and most of Europe where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His reputation is markedly different in Anglophone regions where he has often been labeled a writer of genre fiction or children's books not least because of the highly abridged and altered translations in which his novels are often reprinted. Verne has been the second most-translated author in the world since 1979 between the English-language writers Agatha Christie and William Shakespeare and probably was the most-translated during the 1960s and 1970s. He is one of the authors sometimes called "The Father of Science Fiction" as are H. G. Wells and Hugo Gernsback.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br /> Corners gently bumped light age toning to preliminary pages some internal fingering end paper renewed spine darkened else a very good copy.

It has also been published as The Giant Raft. Unlike many of his other novels this story does not have any science fiction elements. It is an adventure novel. This novel involves how Joam Garral a ranch owner who lives near the Peruvian-Brazilian border on the Amazon River is forced to travel down-stream when his past catches up with him. Most of the novel is situated on a large jangada a Brazilian timber raft that is used by Garral and his family to float to Belém at the river's mouth. Many aspects of the raft scenery and journey are described in detail. Joam Garral grants his daughter's wish to travel to Belém where she wants to marry Manuel Valdez in the presence of Manuel's invalid mother. The Garrals travel down the Amazon River using a giant timber raft. At Belém Joam plans to restore his good name as he is still wanted in Brazil for a crime he did not perpetrate. A scoundrel named Torres offers Joam absolute proof of Joam's innocence but the price that Torres wants for this information is to marry Joam's daughter which is inconceivable to Joam. The proof lies in an encrypted letter that will exonerate Garral. When Torres is killed the Garral family must race to decode the letter before Joam is executed.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Recased occasional spotting spine dulled some occasional finger to pages corners gently bumped else a very good copy.
