“A French adventure novel of the sailing of the biggest ship that has ever sailed!”

 

Jules Verne’s adventure novels are some of the most popular and famous works of literature of all time. “A Floating City,” while not one of Verne’s most famous books, saw significant success shortly after it was first published. In fact, it was as popular as “Around the World” when they were first published. Verne uses his adventure novel motif but includes more elements of romance than in previous novels.

 

This first American edition includes 42 illustrated plates and a decorative cloth binding.
