Often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction" French novelist Jules Verne had a wide influence on 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 books

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.

A similar copy also rebacked and in cloth brought $8750 at auction Heritage 2018.<br/><br/>"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is arguably Verne's masterpiece. As a classic it has aged wonderfully well: it is escapist fun but it still retains its literary and scientific significance. To dismiss it as simply an adventure story does it a disservice.it is also an eerie tale of isolation and madness packed full with geographica; and scientific accuracies that make the fantastic uncomfortably believable" The Guardian. A work of incredible imagination the novel follows the expedition and capture of Professor Pierre Aronnax as he scours the ocean deeps in search of a mysterious "sea monster" reportedly attacking international vessels. As it turns out the fabulous beast spotted off the coast of New York turns out to be the Nautilus a secret underwater ship constructed for and commanded by Captain Nemo. An incredible work of adventure that explores the depths of the human psyche. Very Good. Sampson Low, Martson, Low, & Searle unknown books

A very Fine set.<br/><br/>Jules Verne was a "French writer whose works shaped the development of modern science fiction.In 1863 Verne published the first of his Voyages extraordinaires—Cinq semaines en ballon 1863; Five Weeks in a Balloon. The great success of the tale encouraged him to produce others in the same vein of romantic adventure with increasingly deft depictions of fantastic but nonetheless carefully conceived imaginary scientific wonders. The Voyages continued with Le Voyage au centre de la Terre 1864; A Journey to the Center of the Earth De la Terre à la Lune 1865; From the Earth to the Moon Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers 1869-70; Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea and L'Île mystérieuse 1874; The Mysterious Island in which he foresaw a number of scientific devices and developments including the submarine the aqualung television and space travel. Verne's novels were enormously popular throughout the world; one in particular the grippingly realistic Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingt jours 1873; Around the World in Eighty Days generated great excitement during its serial publication in Le Temps and remained one of his most popular works" Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of Literature. Here in 15 lovely volumes are some of his most imaginative and influential works. Vincent Parke and Company unknown books
