Description:
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.

A sequel to the Time Quartet beginning with A Wrinkle in Time. First published in 1978, this Commemorative Edition carries prefatory remarks by Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) dated 1991. The author reminds us in the Time novels, Meg and Polly ask some "big questions", such as "Are we alone in the universe or not?", as we are all apt to ask as we are growing up. She says, "I write the books I do because I'm still asking the questions ... I go out at night and look at the ... hundreds of billions of stars ... I'm looking at time as well as space ... so I send Meg to the outer galaxiers ... and send Meg and Charles Wallace and Polly into time past and time future." How lucky readers are that Madeleine L'Engle never stopped asking big questions.
