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.

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.

MERIDIANA: The Adventures of Three Englishmen and Three Russians in South Africa
1873. a handsome copy Translated from the French. With Numerous Illustrations. London: Sampson Low Marston Low & Searle 1873. 32 pp ads dated October 1872. Original green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled all edges gilt.<br/><br/> First British Edition also the first edition in the English language. Three Englishmen. and three Russians. and their guide a bushman named Mokoum set out to measure the arc of a meridian in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa. Everything is going well until war is declared between England and Russia. Kytasaari This tale was initially published in the original French in 1872 as AVENTURES DE TROIS RUSSES ET DE TROIS ANGLAIS DANS L'AFRIQUE AUSTRALE. Sampson Low's English edition titled MERIDIANA with the subtitle's nationalities reversed in favor of the Englishmen was issued in November 1872 but was dated 1873 as here. In the same month some of these copies printed and bound in England were exported to the U.S. and equipped with the title page of Scribner's import house Scribner Welford and Armstrong likewise dated 1873 -- technically the American issue of the first English edition and extremely scarce today. Scribner Armstrong sans Welford then published the first edition actually produced in America; there was also an unauthorized American edition by Shepard titled ADVENTURES IN THE LAND OF THE BEHEMOTH with an altered translation and fewer illustrations published on the very same day. This edition has one of the great Verne pictorial bindings: a phalanx of crocodiles hungrily approaches an oblivious man holding a parasol. This copy is in green cloth one of several colors used without priority and has an ad catalogue dated October 1872 -- which we think is the earliest date we have also seen October 1873. The volume is just a little askew as always and a few gatherings stand slightly proud but this is a fine bright copy without any restoration or "improvement" of any kind. An early Verne edition that is quite scarce in this condition. Taves & Michaluk V009; Myers 39. unknown books
