About This Item
New York, NY: Meridian Books/New American Library, 1977. First Edition, First Printing . Soft cover. Very Good/None as Issued. Text/BRAND NEW. Illustrated soft cover/VG; Clean & sound w/rubs to leading edges & trace creasings to corners & spine. First published in hardcover by Thomas Y. Crowell; this copy is an over-sized paperback reprint. French novelist Jules Verne (1828 - 1905) is one of the first writers of science fiction, and his stories often anticipate later scientific and technological developments. In From the Earth to the Moon (1865) he explored space travel. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870) features submarines. Highly regarded in Europe, for the English reading public, some works suffered from poor translation & truncation. This exceptional, annotated English edition, augmented w/some 150 illustrations, restores the adventure to its proper place in literature. Strong copy.
