His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages extraordinaires a series of bestselling adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth 1864 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas 1870 and Around the World in Eighty Days 1872. His novels always well documented are generally set in the second half of the 19th century taking into account the technological advances of the time. Verne is considered to be an important author in France and most of Europe where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His reputation was markedly different in the Anglosphere where he had often been labeled a writer of genre fiction or children's books largely because of the highly abridged and altered translations in which his novels have often been printed. Since the 1980s his literary reputation has improved. Jules Verne has been the second most-translated author in the world since 1979 ranking between Agatha Christie and William Shakespeare. He has sometimes been called the "father of science fiction" a title that has also been given to H. G. Wells and Hugo Gernsback. In the 2010s he was the most translated French author in the world. In France 2005 was declared "Jules Verne Year" on the occasion of the centenary of the writer's death. Illustrated By: Jules Ferat Illustrator Bio: Jules-Descartes Férat 1829 Ham Somme 1906 Paris was a French artist and illustrator famous for his portrayals of factories and their workers. He illustrated the books of many known authors such as Jules Verne Edgar Allan Poe and Victor Hugo. Some critics consider his illustrations for Jules Verne's novel The Mysterious Island to be his greatest masterpieces. Synopsis: A Floating City or sometimes translated The Floating City French: Une ville flottante is an adventure novel by French writer Jules Verne first published in 1871 in France. At the time of its publication the novel enjoyed a similar level of popularity as Around the World in Eighty Days. The first UK and US editions of the novel appeared in 1874. Jules Férat provided the original illustrations for the novel. Plot - It tells of a woman who on board the ship Great Eastern with her abusive husband finds that the man she loves is also on board. "The Blockade Runners" French: Les forceurs de blocus is an 1865 novella by Jules Verne. In 1871 it was published in single volume together with novel A Floating City as a part of the Voyages Extraordinaires series The Extraordinary Voyages. An English translation was published in 1874. Plot - The American Civil War plot centers on the exploits of a British merchant captain named James Playfair who must break the Union blockade of Charleston harbor in South Carolina to trade supplies for cotton and later in the book to rescue Halliburtt the abolitionist journalist father of a young girl held prisoner the father not the girl by the Confederates. Verne's tale was inspired by reality as many ships were actually lost while acting as blockade runners in and around Charleston in the early 1860s.

Philippoteaux Graves Par Lalante Illustrator Bio: Synopsis: The Armillary sphere type cartonage front cover was used between 1877 and 1883 Verne had problems with this novel from the very beginning.2 Originally he intended that Gallia would crash into the earth killing everybody aboard. This may have been the motivation for naming the hero "Servadac" with the mirror of the French word cadavres "corpses" predicting all would die on the "return". His publisher Hetzel would not accept this however given the large juvenile readership in his monthly magazine and Verne was forced to graft an optimistic ending onto the story allowing the inhabitants of Gallia to escape the crash in a balloon.

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.
