1873 Jules Verne 1ed Around the World in 80 Days Adventure Voyages French Hetzel

1873 Jules Verne 1^ed Around the World in 80 Days Adventure Voyages 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. Perhaps his most famous work of all was none other than ‘Around the World in 80 Days’.  This story remains hugely popular today, combining exploration, adventure, and a race against time!

Note on dating: like many other Verne first 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 – however, this edition has no ads! A rare 1873 true first edition of Verne!
