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.

The mildest of rubbing to the extremities internally immaculate.<br /> <br /> Inspired by the optical phenomenon-a split second flash of green light at the end of a sunrise or sunset-Jules Vernes' book is a surprising love story. Here the light plays a pivotal role in the narrative: Helena Campbell refuses to marry until she has seen the Grey Ray which according to Scottish legend allows you to see into your own heart and read the true feelings of others. The strange and delightful novel was first published in September 1883 a month before George Munro's pirated "Seaside Library" edition.<br /> <br /> Taves & Michaluk V023. Myers 31. Near Fine.

Translated by W. H. G. Kingston. Gallagher Mistichelli Eerde A33 First American editions.<br /><br /><em>The Mysterious Island </em>French: <em>L'Île mystérieuse</em> is a novel by Jules Verne published in 1875. The original edition published by Hetzel contains a number of illustrations by Jules Férat. The novel is a crossover sequel to Verne's famous <em>Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas</em> 1870 and <em>In Search of the Castaways </em>1867–68 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 <em>Shipwrecked Family: Marooned with Uncle Robinson</em> seen as indicating the influence of the novels <em>Robinson Crusoe </em>and <em>The Swiss Family Robinson</em>. Verne developed a similar theme in his later novel <em>Godfrey Morgan</em> French: <em>L'École des Robinsons</em> 1882 The chronology of<em> The Mysterious Island</em> is completely incompatible with that of the original <em>Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea</em> whose plot begins in 1866 while <em>The Mysterious Island</em> begins during the American Civil War yet is supposed to happen some years after "<em>Twenty Thousand Leagues</em>".<br /><br />In the United States the first English printing began in Scribner's Monthly April 1874 as a serial. In September 1875 Sampson Low Marston Low and Searle published the first British edition of <em>Mysterious Island </em>in three volumes entitled <em>Dropped from the Clouds</em> <em>The Abandoned</em> and <em>The Secret of the Island </em>195000 words. In November 1875 Scribner's published the American edition of these volumes from the English plates of Sampson Low. The purported translator W. H. G. Kingston was a famous author of boys' adventure and sailing stories who had fallen on hard times in the 1870s due to business failures and so he hired out to Sampson Low as the translator for these volumes. However it is now known that the translator of <em>Mysterious Island</em> and his other Verne novels was actually his wife Agnes Kinloch Kingston who had studied on the continent in her youth. The Kingston translation changes the names of the hero from "Smith" to "Harding"; "Smith" is a very common name in the UK and would have been associated at that time with the lower classes. In addition many technical passages were abridged or omitted and the anti-imperialist sentiments of the dying Captain Nemo were purged so as not to offend English readers. This became the standard translation for more than a century. In 1876 the Stephen W. White translation 175000 words appeared first in the columns of <em>The Evening Telegraph of Philadelphia</em> and subsequently as an <em>Evening Telegraph</em> Reprint Book. This translation is more faithful to the original story and restores the death scene of Captain Nemo but there is still condensation and omission of some sections such as Verne's description of how a sawmill works. In the 20th century two more abridged translations appeared: the Fitzroy Edition Associated Booksellers 1959 abridged by I. O. Evans 90000 words and Mysterious Island Bantam 1970 abridged by Lowell Bair 90000 words.<br /><br /><strong>Condition: </strong>Recased with original end pages with some archival repairs to spine ends some occasional foxing soiling and fingering else a very good sharp set. is in green cloth; Abandoned bound in blue cloth; The Secret of the Island bound in original brown cloth.

1954146173Burbank CA: Walt Disney Productions 1954. Final Shooting Script for the 1954 film with blue yellow and green revisions throughout. <br/><br/>Based on the 1870 novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne. Walt Disney's "20000 Leagues Under the Sea" was one of the most expensive and ambitious productions of its time. A 200 foot submarine a 225 pound diving suit a specially built soundstage with a 90 x 165 foot tank and a giant squid which weighed two tons and required a crew of 28 to operate were just some of the monumental challenges of the production. Disney's first CinemaScope motion picture "20000 Leagues Under the Sea" was a resounding success and went on to be considered one of greatest live-action adventure movies ever made.<br/><br/>In 1868 off the coast of San Francisco Professor Aronnax Paul Lukas his assistant Conseil Peter Lorre and master harpooner Ned Land Kirk Douglas set sail upon a armed frigate to investigate a spate of sinkings rumored to be caused by a sea monster. After months of searching the "monster" is spotted sinking a merchant vessel and the frigate attacks only to be sunk themselves. Adrift in the ocean the three come upon a strange metal vessel and realize the "monster" is a "submerging boat." The trio are captured by Captain Nemo James Mason and taken aboard the submarine the Nautilus and journey on a voyage of adventure and discovery under the sea.<br/><br/>Nominated for three Academy Awards winning two for Art Direction and Special Effects.<br/><br/>Shot on location in California Jamaica and the Bahamas. <br/><br/>Blue titled wrappers with affixed Walt Disney Productions label as called for with Disney scripts from this era noted as FINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT on the front wrapper with credits for screenwriter Earl Felton.

186923.0114Madrid: Establecimiento Tipográfico de Tomás Rey y Compañía 1869. 1ª ed. Contemporary quarter leather with raised bands. 16x25.5. Illustrations by Édouard Riou Obras and Alphonse de Neuville engraved by Hildebrand. The binding is simple but attractive the spine slightly rubbed but entirely sound. The boards are rather more rubbed and the corners are bruised with one missing. The edition is on low quality paper and appears to have been well read. We have corrected the dog earing in the lower corner of the first eight leaves but this has weakened some of the corners. There are quite accomplished pencil sketches on three pages of text and the back end paper. One of the two maps has two ink lines drawn across the Atlantic; two tears across pp. 227/228 and 229/230 have been rather crudely repaired but the pages are complete. Both free endpapers are missing. We have seen photographs of a copy that as well as the engraved title page and the typographic title page both present in our copy conserved what appears to be the original printed wrapper; this is not present in this copy. No separate title page appears to have been issued for the second part. Otherwise there are occasional minor marks and stains light foxing towards the end of the book. We have attached a large numer of photos to give the clearest possible idea of the actual condition of the copy. Given that the book suffers from the dreaded trinity of bad paper a popular novel and attractive to children this is probably about as good a copy as one is likely to find.
