Condition: Bueno. 1ª ed. 16x25.5. 2 parts bound in one volume. Illustrations by Édouard Riou Obras and Alphonse de Neuville, engraved by Hildebrand. Contemporary quarter leather with raised bands. Verne's 'Veinte Mille Lieues sous les Mers' was published in parts by Pierre-Jules Hetzel in his Magasin d'Éducation et de Récréation between March 1869, and June 1870; the first part was published in book form in French in October 1869, the second part in June of the following year. However the entire book was published in two simultaneous parts by Tomás Rey y Compañía in the Spanish translation of Vicente Guimera in 1869. This appears to have been due to the difficulties caused by the French publisher by the Franco Prussian War, though it is not clear whether Hetzel allowed the Spanish to precede his, or whether this in a pirate edition. The French edition is unillustrated, while Tomás Rey was able to use the illustrations that had been prepared for the original monthly parts. Although this edition does seem to appear fairly regularly , if highly (even over-) priced, we have found very few copies in institutional libraries. We could find nothing on WorldCat, no copies in the Catalogue Collectif de France, and only two on the Spanish CCPB. Palau 360719. Español. 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. Further images are available on our website, or on request. Contemporary quarter leather with raised bands.

Inscribed and signed by a private owner: "James Ernest Howell, with love from his father". Jules Gabriel Verne (8 February 1828 24 March 1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. 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. In addition to his novels, he wrote numerous plays, short stories, autobiographical accounts, poetry, songs and scientific, artistic and literary studies. His work has been adapted for film and television since the beginning of cinema, as well as for comic books, theater, opera, music and video games. 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. (Wikipedia) Sprache: english.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. THE BOOK IS MADE TO ORDER AND IT TAKES 2 TO 4 WEEKS FOR IT TO BE READY FOR SHIPPING *****SIZE - 8 x 5.5 inches (21 x 13.5 cm). *****EDITION - 11 of 100, initialed and numbered. *****If you are interested in a different title, send me a message and I will give you a quote.*****Book's original ISBN 978-1853260315*****Books, as much as experiences, change my life, and I decided to make a limited collection of all the books I read and loved. And maybe you also will find in my collection a book that you enjoyed, and it even might have influenced your life.*****The book is a soft cover which I recycle and transform into a limited edition, personalized hardback with leather cover, designed and made by me. First, I prepare the book by embedding cotton cords into the spine. Adding 2 mm wood boards to the front and back. And reinforcing everything with cloth. To make the cover I use grade A, naturally tanned hide, I buy from a tannery in north Spain. It is the same leather Louis Vuitton uses to make his bags, so it is top quality. I do all the processing of the leather myself. First, I design the cover, and for this I used a painting of a 19th century diver fighting a giant octopus. Next, I mix leather inks and screen them on the surface of the leather. The inks are partly absorbed by the skin to create a permanent bond. Finally, I coat the leather with protective solution. The leather gives the image a vintage look and beautiful texture, and it will age nicely with time. Inside the front cover. I can print a personal message or a quote from the book. The book is beautiful. Visually it has a very nice texture, it smells great, and the more you handle it the more beautiful it will become. And it makes a great gift for yourself, or somebody who appreciates books. So if you want one, don't snooze, or you might lose.*****RETURNS: This is a custom-made item, so returns or exchanges are not accepted. But you can contact me if there is any problem with your order. *****COLORS: Since I make each item to order, the color might vary from the pictures. It depends on how the inks mix and how they react with leather. *****SHIPPING: I make each item to order, and it takes a few weeks, since I need to find the book first. I go to the post office once a week. Estimated delivery time is about two weeks, but it depends on the postal service and customs. And occasionally there are delays, and it might take a month or so to arrive.
