1888 Jules Verne 1^st ed Two Years Vacation Deux ans de Vacances | French Hetzel

“Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them.”

― Jules Verne

Jules Verne’s adventure novels are some of the most popular and famous works of literature of all time. Known mostly for his works of science fiction, ‘Voyages Extraordinaires’ was Verne’s largest collection of fantasy novels and stories.

“Deux ans de vacances”, also known as “Two Years’ Vacation,” was not one of Verne’s most famous books but still proves to be an important work of 19^th-century French literature. This book tells the story of young pre-teen boys who set out on a sea voyage and become cast away on an unknown island, having to fend for themselves, avoiding slavery, and finding their way home.

Note on dating: like many other Verne editions, the title page included was issued in each edition, including later printings. The dating comes from the ads in the back of the book – note the ads in this volume advertise for the releases in the 1888-1889 print year.
