Please see photos as part of condition report 1877 2nd Edition , LES VOYAGES EXTRAORDINAIRES HECTOR SERVADAC A TRAVERS LE MONDE SOLAIRE By Jules Verne 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. 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: De. P. Philippoteaux Graves Par Lalante Format: Hardcover, Language: French Dust Jacket: No Jacket, Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket Published By: Hetzel, Paris, Paris Super octavo (8vo 7 × 11 178 × 279),Pages ISBN: 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.
