Jules VERNE Vingt-mille lieues sous les mers

Jules VERNE

Vingt-mille lieues sous les mers

Hetzel, Paris 1879, Grd. in-8 (18,5x28cm), 434pp., relié.


Jules VERNE
Vingt mille lieues sous les mers [Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]
Jules Hetzel | Paris 1879 | 18.5 x 28 cm | publisher's binding
New edition. 111 drawings by De Neuville and Riou.
So called “Aux deux éléphants” (“To two elephants”) red publisher’s boards (plate signed “Souze, Lenègre binder” at the bottom). Lenègre b style second board, with octagonal blind tooled button. These boards coexisted alongside similar boards in 1879, but were bound by Engel. Beautiful first plate, very fresh, with shiny golds. Good spine. Good second plate with some tiny stains. The spine-ends are in position and are barely sunken. Corners straight and pointed. Scattered foxing. Very beautiful copy.
One of the legendary titles of Jules Verne’s production. Here the author has created a complex evil figure, that of Captain Némo. Of all of the author’s novels, this one took one of the longest periods to write; it will generate a great number of cinema adaptations, the first of which was by Méliès in 1907, and the most famous was in 1954 by Richard Fleisher.
