1881156791881. a handsome pair in teal Together two volumes. Translated by W.J. Gordon. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1881 2nd vol: 1882. 16 pp Vol I undated ads 16 pp Vol II ads dated Fall 1882. Original teal cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled boards.<br/> <br/> First American Hardbound Editions of the two volumes that together form the tale THE GIANT RAFT sited on the Amazon River published as LA JANGADA in the original French. Joam Garral of Iquitos Peru concedes to his daughter's wish to travel to Belem Brazil where she can marry Manuel Valdez in the presence of Manuel's invalid mother. The Garrals plan to make the journey to Belem down the Amazon River via a giant raft a "jangada" -- and it is giant! -- pictured on each front cover it is 1000 feet long by 60 feet wide. Along the way Joam plans to get his good name restored as he is still wanted in Brazil for a crime he did not commit. Absolute proof of Joam's innocence lies in the hands of a scoundrel named Torres who has a cryptogram that will exonerate Joam; however the price that Torres wants for this information Garral's daughter is much too high. Kytasaari Classic Verne -- adventure intrigue a cryptogram all the while educating his reading public about life along the Amazon. George Munro published Part I of this tale as THE JANGADA in July 1881 and Part II in January 1882 in his self-wrappered triple-columned "Seaside Library." Sampson Low published the two volumes of their illustrated British edition in November 1881 and May 1882 and Scribner published these two volumes in December 1881 and September 1882. Both Sampson Low and Scribner bound this tale in a format uniform with Verne's two-volume THE STEAM HOUSE then just published. Both volumes are in teal-colored cloth; we have also seen terra-cotta brown and olive-grey though there is no priority between the four colors this teal is the scarcest and the most attractive. Each volume includes a fold-out map of the Upper and Lower Amazon respectively. The volumes are in bright close-to-fine condition a touch of very faint soil on the blank rear covers. Though the American editions are not as scarce as the British it is tough to find the pair in matching color and in this condition. Taves & Michaluk V022; Myers 28. unknown

A feast of steam-powered elephants and revenge set in India ten years after the great Sepoy rebellion of 1857. Both volumes are illustrated throughout with a multitude of atmospheric or demented depending on your perspective engravings depicting the adventures of our somewhat bloodthirsty heroes as they criss-cross post-mutiny India for the most part travelling inside a giant steam car pulled by a locomotive cast into the shape of a massive elephant. From any other author this would sound strange but coming from the man who regularly fires his protagonists into space or sinks them beneath the waves it's clearly all in a day's work.
