1875219311875 Jules Verne 1ed Wreck of the Chancellor Martin Paz French Hetzel Voyages "Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them." ― Jules Verne Jules Verne's adventure novels are some of the most popular and famous works of literature of all time. Known mostly for his works of science fiction 'Voyages Extraordinaires' was Verne's largest collection of fantasy novels and stories. Verne's 'Wreck of the Chancellor' is the story of the final voyage of British sailing ship the Chancellor told from the perspective of the diary one of its passengers. At the beginning of its voyage the Chancellor carried eight passengers and twenty crew members but tragically by the end only eleven people remained alive.This undated first Hetzel edition was published alongside Verne's 'Martin Paz' a short story of Jewish man promising his daughter to a Catholic man in Peru. This issue is the first issue to include the 'JV – JH' initials on the front cover. Note that the 1875 first edition dating is found in the ads at the end much like all early editions of Verne.Item number: #21931Price: $650VERNE JulesLe chancellor : suivi de Martin PazParis: Hetzel 1875.

Decorative black and gilt lettering and filigree on cover and spine. Slate coated endpapers. Illustrations including frontispiece from wood engravings. Editor's preface not found on other English editions. This much-sought version of the collection of five Verne stories the last "The Fortieth French Ascent of Mt. Blanc" was written by his brother Paul may in fact be the first collected book edition of any sort in English. While Osgood's edition entitled Doctor Ox etc was announced and registered in May and June 1874 respectively no copies were deposited until July 17th. This Gill edition was announced as "now ready" on July 11th ref. Taves & Michaluk V012. Interestingly Gill's announcement referred to a quarto size of which I've never seen an example; presumably a decision was made in favor of the known size about 7.3" x 5.6". In any case a popular translation one which was followed by a "New Holiday Edition" and a "popular edition". Condition: better than unusual for this title a sharp very good plus Slight shelf wear and soiling spine ends and corners lightly bumped faint marginal at several pages; ¾" tear on top edge of title page small paper residue on front pastedown. Very sharp bright and tight for this title. Stories included: A Drama In Mid-Air; Dr. Ox's Hobby; Master Zachary; A Winter Among the Ice-Fields; and The Fortieth French Ascent of Mt.Blanc.
