Description: The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite. Here we offer the finest facsimile available of the 1873 first edition of the classic, foundational, science fiction novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, by Jules Verne, originally published by James R. Osgoode and Company, Boston, and here faithfully recreated by Charles Winthrope & Sons, in 2015. This is a stunningly attractive book, with gilt lavished across a bright green impressed and inked cover with 110 illustrations--a full-page engraving nearly every other leaf. Book is in excellent condition, and apparently unread. It comes with publisher's notes and an envelope containing signed collectors' notes by Verne expert Peter Schulman. Binding is very tight and square, text and numerous illustrations are very clean, bright, and crisp. 303 pages. The book measures approximately 8.25 x 6-inches. This wonderful facsimile of this iconic first edition will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a very thoughtful and generoux gift! Click HERE to see our other Jules Verne offerings!
