<p><strong>1900 JULES VERNE Tour Around the World 80 Days RARE PIRATE ED Le Tour Du Monde</strong></p><p>"<em>The Tour of the World in Eighty Days</em>" showcases Jules Verne's imaginative storytelling and his knack for blending scientific knowledge with literary creativity. This classic 19th-century adventure novel follows Phileas Fogg and his valet Passepartout as they race to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. Published initially in French in 1872 the novel has since become one of Verne's most celebrated and beloved works. </p><p>This specific printing is quite unique as it is part of Hurst and Company's pirated "American Boys Series" that mimicked the cover art of Boston-based Lee and Shepherd's series of the same name. Additionally the title page credits Jules Verne for "The Texar Vengeance" which was a variation of George Munro's title of his infamous pirated edition of Verne's 1887 work "North Against South". <strong>Today this specific printing has become highly rare with less than 25 known copies in recorded existence worldwide!</strong> This is largely attributed to the short print run of the series as well as the utilization of cheaper materials during production. A fascinating collector's item!</p><p>Item number: #41532</p><p>Price: $499</p><p>VERNE Jules; BROWNE Gordon Frederick</p><p><strong><em>The Tour of the World in Eighty Days</em></strong></p><p>New York: Hurst and Company 1900.</p><p><u>Details</u>: </p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Collation: Complete</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->o <!--endif-->184</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Edition Notes:</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->o <!--endif-->Cover: Imitation of publisher's Lee and Shepherd's "American Boys Series" cover art.</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->o <!--endif-->Title page: Jules Verne credited for the pirated US title "<em>The Texar Vengeance</em>"</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->o <!--endif-->Contents: Uses the pages they purchased from Richard Edward King prolific Lymington printer and publisher.</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->References: </p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->o <!--endif-->"Texar's Revenge": Taves and Michaluk V033; Myers 49</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Language: English</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Binding: Hardcover; tight and secure</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->o <!--endif-->Red pictorial cloth</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Size: ~7.75in X 5.25in 19.5cm x 13.5cm</p><p>Our Guarantee:</p><p>Very Fast.
