Only two copies have come to auction within the last thirty-six years one rebound the other "becoming loose."<br/><br/>Published in September 1883 a month before George Munro's pirated "Seaside Library" edition.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>Taves & Michaluk V023. Myers 31.
