Verne, Jules
The Mysterious Island: Dropped From the Clouds.
London: Sampson Low Marston Low & Searle 1875. First edition in English in book form of the first volume of Verne's Mysterious Island trilogy preceding the Scribner Armstrong's first American edition. Octavo original publisher's cloth decorated in gilt all edges gilt illustrated tissue-guarded frontispiece. Accompanied by an autograph note signed by Verne and dated the year he published "Two Years' Vacation" his South Pacific adventure novel. Card stock written in French and dated March 1888. The note reads in full in English "Very willingly Monsieur will I address the lines which your sympathetic letter demands praying that you excuse me if I haven't responded to you earlier. Your well devoted Jules Verne March 88." Verne may have been a little preoccupied in 1888. In that year he entered French politics by becoming town councilor of Amiens in northern-central France and his latest adventure novel was also published. In fine condition with scrapbook album mounting traces to the verso. The piece measures 5 inches by 2.625 inches. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Armorial bookplates to the pastedown and front free endpaper. Translated from the French by W.H.G. Kingston. An exceptional example scarce in this condition. A superior example. Often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction" French novelist Jules Verne had a wide influence 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. Sampson, Low, Marston, Low, & Searle hardcover

Michael Strogoff the Courier of the Czar.
New York: Scribner Armstrong & Company 1877. First American edition of this historical tale of adventure taking place during a Siberian revolt by the Tartars and what many consider one of Verne's finest novels. Octavo original cloth with Ninety Full-Page Illustrations. Translated by W. H. G. Kingston. Revised by Julius Chambers. In near fine condition. A nice example. Critics including Leonard S. Davidow consider it one of Verne's best books. Davidow wrote "Jules Verne has written no better book than this in fact it is deservedly ranked as one of the most thrilling tales ever written." Unlike some of Verne's other novels it is not science fiction but a scientific phenomenon Leidenfrost effect is a plot device. The book was later adapted to a play by Verne himself and Adolphe d'Ennery. Incidental music to the play was written by Alexandre Artus in 1880. The book has been adapted several times for films television and cartoon series. Scribner, Armstrong & Company hardcover
