Esso fu pubblicato in forma preoriginale sul Magasin d'éducation et de récréation dal 20 novembre 1871 al 5 settembre 1872. La presente tiratura fu posta in vendita il 31 ottobre 1872 e fu commercializzata in brossura, in cartonnage aux bouquets de roses e, in diverse varianti di legatura, insieme con Une Ville Flottante.

Il romanzo è di ambientazione scozzese ed è ispirato al fenomeno ottico eponimo del "raggio verde". "Ce roman imprégné de sensibilité celtique, est également un roman féministe; la forte et gracieuse figure d'Helena Campbell suffit à en finir avec la légende d'un Verne misogyne" (Jules Verne, le monde celtique et la mer, 2006). "Une étrange héroïne y paraît : Helena Campbell, une jeune fille fantasque. Elle réunit en elle deux natures absolument dissemblables : un être sérieux qui envisage la vie avec réflexion, et un être romanesque, aimant les récits merveilleux, et profondément superstitieux. Avant d'accepter le mariage, elle veut voir le rayon vert, c'est-à-dire le dernier rayon lancé par la soleil lorsqu'il se couche sur la mer. Une légende dit que ce rayon porte bonheur". (Daniel Compère, La Vie amiénoise de Jules Verne, 1974). Gondolo Della Riva, I, pp. 71-72, n. 35. Francese

Bao game. The ultimate guide
brossura Il Bao la kiswahili è un gioco tradizionale molto diffuso in Africa orientale. È un gioco di strategia che si basa molto sull'abilità di calcolo rapido, spesso molto lungo, e di previsione dello sviluppo il più possibile in profondità di ciascuna mossa... come per altri famosi giochi di strategia. Questo gioco è di pura abilità e uno dei più profondi. Nonostante la complessità iniziale delle regole è uno dei più avvincenti e socializzanti, sebbene si giochi in due, grazie agli spettatori che valutano ciascuna mossa! E' un gioco appassionante, il cui fascino si svela immediatamente a un principiante ma che diventa magico non appena si cominciano ad applicare anche semplici piani strategici. Scopo di questo libro è diffondere il Bao la kiswahili anche fuori dall'Africa orientale. È una guida quasi completa perché questo gioco non è stato ancora studiato a fondo e, quindi, le tattiche e le strategie ancora non si conoscono bene. Edizione inglese.

DESCRIPTION DE L'EGYPTE. Denderah (Tentyris). Détails de figures et de costumes, et légendes hiéroglyphiques recueillis dans les temples. (ANTIQUITES, volume IV, planche 28)
- Imprimerie Impériale, Paris 1809-1829, 54x71cm, une feuille. - Original, unshaved, full-page etching from the "Imperial edition" of the Description de l'Égypte, or 'Recueil des observations et recherches faites en Égypte pendant l'expédition française, publié par les ordres de Sa Majesté l'Empereur Napoléon le Grand [A Collection of the observations and research carried out in Egypt during the French expedition, published on the orders of his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon the Great]'. Produced between February 1802 and 1830 on the orders of Naopleon Bonaparte and published between 1809 and 1828, 1,000 copies were printed and distributed to institutions, on vergé paper with an 'Égypte ancienne et moderne' watermark, visible when held up to the light. Light marginal spotting not touching image, otherwise in very fresh, fine condition. An engraving from the Description de l'Egypte, one of the masterpieces of French printing and the birth of a new field: Egyptology. A gigantic survey of Egypt at the time of Bonaparte's conquests in 1798 and 1799, the work is divided into 13 volumes of engravings making up 892 plates, of which 72 colored, as well as presenting the splendors of the Egypt of the Pharaohs in 9 volumes. The other volumes discuss natural history and present a fascinating portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's Eastern Armies. The 'Egyptian campaign', militarily a disaster, demonstrates, through the engravings of the Description d'Egypte, the scientific success it nonetheless became thanks to the 167 expert members of the Commission of the Sciences and Arts of the Institut d'Egypte [Egyptian Institute] who followed Napoleon's army. The Institut gathered together in Egypt the mathematician Monge, the chemist Berthollet, the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists, engineers, architects and doctors. They were tasked with re-discovering modern and ancient Egypt and displaying its natural treasures as well as the know-how of its inhabitants. This edition, the so-called "Imperial" edition of the plates for the Description de l'Egypte was printed in four large formats, two of which were specially created for it and christened "Moyen-Egypte" and "Grand-Egypte". A special press was built to print it, the process extending over 20 years, from 1809 to 1829. The "Imperial" edition proved so popular that a second edition, this time in black and white and without the "Egypte ancienne et moderne" watermark - known as the "Royal Edition" - was published during the Restoration by the printing house of C.-L.-F. Panckoucke (Paris). The engravings of the Description d'Egypte owe a great deal to Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon, illustrator, diplomat, collector and later Director of the Musée Napoléon (the Louvre). His exploration of the South of Egypt gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the experts of the Institut there, thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the area. This was the research gathered together from 1802 in the mammoth Description de L'Egypte. Denon embarked on this story of archeological exploration at the age of 51, reaching first Alexandria and then Cairo before exploring Upper Egypt. Along with the members of the Institut d'Egypte, the Natural History Museum's painter H.J. Redouté (brother of Pierre-Joseph Redouté, author of Roses), the mineralogist Dolomiue, and the draughtsman Joly, Denon then explored the Nile Delta and Lower Egypt. When, however, he joined the 21st Light Infantry Regiment as it marched across Upper Egypt in pursuit of the retreating Mameluks in November 1798, he found himself the only civilian. In the very midst of the battle itself, he reeled off sketches of the works of art that peppered his path right up to the threshold of the Sudan. He said that he had crossed "a country that is, apart from its name, entirely unknown to Europeans, and therefore everything was worth describing" (Voyages dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte pendant le

They were tasked with re-discovering modern and ancient Egypt and displaying its natural treasures as well as the know-how of its inhabitants. This edition, the so-called "Imperial" edition of the plates for the Description de l'Egypte was printed in four large formats, two of which were specially created for it and christened "Moyen-Egypte" and "Grand-Egypte". A special press was built to print it, the process extending over 20 years, from 1809 to 1829. The "Imperial" edition proved so popular that a second edition, this time in black and white and without the "Egypte ancienne et moderne" watermark - known as the "Royal Edition" - was published during the Restoration by the printing house of C.-L.-F. Panckoucke (Paris). The engravings of the Description d'Egypte owe a great deal to Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon, illustrator, diplomat, collector and later Director of the Musée Napoléon (the Louvre). His exploration of the South of Egypt gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the experts of the Institut there, thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the area. This was the research gathered together from 1802 in the mammoth Description de L'Egypte. Denon embarked on this story of archeological exploration at the age of 51, reaching first Alexandria and then Cairo before exploring Upper Egypt. Along with the members of the Institut d'Egypte, the Natural History Museum's painter H.J. Redouté (brother of Pierre-Joseph Redouté, author of Roses), the mineralogist Dolomiue, and the draughtsman Joly, Denon then explored the Nile Delta and Lower Egypt. When, however, he joined the 21st Light Infantry Regiment as it marched across Upper Egypt in pursuit of the retreating Mameluks in November 1798, he found himself the only civilian. In the very midst of the battle itself, he reeled off sketches of the works of art that peppered his path right up to the threshold of the Sudan. He said that he had crossed "a country that is, apart from its name, entirely unknown to Europeans, and therefore everything was worth describing" (Voyages dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte pendant le
