18732607London: Sampson Low Martson Low & Searle 1873. First edition in English. Very Good. Rare first English language edition of Verne's classic work preceding the American edition and much scarcer than the 1873 Smith or Osgood US printings. Publisher's original red cloth stamped in black and gilt rebacked with portions of the spine replaced. Original peach end papers with a contemporary gift inscription and Burns Bindery ticket. All page edges gilt. Generally in good condition internally. A young reader has written comments at the end of the book in pencil that could be erased but we've left them as they are kind of charming. Finally publisher's catalogue "For the season 1872-73" has six pages not eight as seen in some other copies. Whether it's lacking the final advertisement leaf or whether it was issued as such we cannot say. A Very Good copy overall of a very scarce book. 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

187692073Paris: Bibliothèque d'Education et de Récréation J. Hetzel 1876. Fine. Bibliothèque d'Education et de Récréation J. Hetzel Paris 1876 11.5 x 18.2 cm 2 volumes reliés Rare first edition. The first volume dated 4 August 1876 followed by the second volume published on 6 November with Un drame au Mexique bound in. All first editionswere published in 18° format. Half brown shagreen bindings spines with four raised bands ruled in black and framed in black with with central gilt fleurons marbled paper boards paste-down endpapers and flyleaves of hand-marbled paper sprinkled edges contemporary bindings. A handsome first edition copy of this celebrated Siberian adventure attractively bound in contemporary bindings. This first appearance of the text in book form was Jules Verne's preferred format as Jauzac notes instead of the more famous gilded publisher's bindings: ""Verne cared little it seems for the outward appearance of his works. Likewise illustration added to the text struck him as inessential. He would in fact give friends copies of the unillustrated 18° first edition like this copy rather than the large 8° volumes - admittedly more expensive! Without being able to state it as fact it is probable that the author kept in his library only these small 18° editions of his Voyages extraordinaires which he would always count by the volume two for a work in two parts and took pride in announcing a total of over a hundred volumes"". It was with the first edition of Michel Strogoff that Jules Verne began earning the considerable sum of 50 centimes per copy for volumes in this 18° format. The novel narrowly escaped Hetzel's suggestions that Verne introduce an additional character ""un occuliste attaché aux pas du héros s'obstinant à le guérir ou un ""petit chenapan héroïque"" accompagné d'un chien qu'il offrirait à l'aveugle"" Embs et Mellot Le Guide Jules Verne. Paradoxically however it was the publisher who was responsible for the novel bearing the resounding title ""Michel Strogoff"" rather than ""Le Courrier du czar"". Jauzac n° 10 p. 207. Bottin p. 69.

Pages browning. Faint mark on first title. <br/><br/>Scarce Jules Verne novel set in Canada of all places complete with wild Indians musket fire and Sir John Colborne. Some readers may recognize John W. Lovell 1851-1932 as a Canadian publisher and he was indeed born in Montreal in 1851. His father John Lovell Sr. 1810-93 was a Canadian publisher born in Ireland. John W. who had experience operating his father's large printing plant moved to Rouse's Point New York in 1873 to run a printing plant there. After marrying a local girl in 1876 he became an American citizen and moved to New York City. There he published a wide variety of books and took advantage of the lack of international copyright laws to print popular titles of the day including those of Dickens as well as Verne. As a born Canadian it's not surprising he would print this story set in his native land. According to the title page he was located at 150 Worth Street cor. Meeting Place at time of publication which places this book in 1891 although John W. published earlier paperback versions in 1889 and 1890. Myers 19. Taves & Michaluk V036. John W.

186592074Paris: Bibliothèque d'Education et de Récréation J. Hetzel 1865. Fine. The true first edition of the iconic lunar voyage and pioneer of the space age Bibliothèque d'Education et de Récréation J. Hetzel Paris 1865 11.5 x 18.2 cm relié Rare first edition. This first appearance of the text in book form was Jules Verne's preferred format as Jauzac notes instead of the more famous gilded publisher's bindings.

A small black ink stain to the lower right margin of the opening leaves. A handsome first edition copy attractively housed in a contemporary binding. This founding novel is considered one of if not the most famous early published science fiction story about lunar exploration. The novel inaugurates a rigorously scientific approach to fiction narrating expeditions to our satellite. As early as 1875 From the Earth to the Moon was adapted as an operetta by the undisputed master of the genre Jacques Offenbach. H. G. Wells's treatment of lunar travel The First Men in the Moon 1901 still owes a considerable debt to Verne even if the British author's conspicuously unscientific traits have often been noted: cavorite his anti-gravitational substance is a fiction that serves merely as one device that allowed him to focus on what is discovered upon the Moon itself rather than the journey. At the dawn of the century Méliès drew in part on Verne's novel for the very first fiction film in the history of cinema the celebrated A Trip to the Moon. After this pioneer of the seventh art it was a master of the ninth who built the myth of his character Tintin upon Verne's own heroes devoting two albums to the subject of Lunar travel: Destination Moon concerned with the preparations for the voyage as in Verne's first volume and Explorers on the Moon narrating the journey through space as in Around the Moon. Though the lunar voyage had been imagined since Dante Cyrano de Bergerac and a host of illustrious writers in earlier centuries From the Earth to the Moon created a new realist genre that proved remarkably prophetic of the space exploration of the 1960s: ""The first attempt to reach the moon by truly scientific means in modern times was made in Jules Verne's novel From the Earth to the Moon De la Terre à la Lune published in 1865. The book contains some descriptions that amazingly parallel twentieth-century actual moon flights. Just like astronauts Frank Borman James Lovell and William Anders of the historic Apollo 8 flight of 1968 the first men to orbit around the moon Jules Verne's moon travelers Impey Barbicane the president of the Gun Club of Baltimore his adversary Captain Nicholl and the French journal-list Michel Ardan an anagram for Verne's friend Nadar took off from Florida and like the real astronauts they landed on return in the ocean. The elaborate preparations for the moon journey closely resemble the actual start of the rockets of today although Verne uses instead of a rocket a gun 900 feet in length."" Franz Rottensteiner The Science Fiction Book. It is precisely this proximity to the reality of lunar travel that makes the novel an essential text and the origin of many a prestigious vocation: the Russians Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and Sergei Korolev the American Robert Goddard and Germans Hermann Oberth and Wernher von Braun all traced the origins of their passion to Verne's novels. Yuri Gagarin and Neil Armstrong likewise counted them among their earliest inspirations. In 1999 the European astronaut Jean-Pierre Haigneré carried aboard the Mir space station a copy of From the Earth to the Moon which completed three thousand orbits of the Earth at his side.
