1877 1^ed Jules VERNE 20,000 Leagues Under Sea French Illustrated Sci-Fi CLASSIC

 

“The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite.”

― Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

 

One of the most popular and famous works of French literature is Jules Verne’s “Twenty-Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.” Verne accurately describes features on Captain Nemo’s submarine (“The Nautilus”), which was considered ahead of its time as submarines were in their infancy.

 

This French edition of Verne’s masterpiece is illustrated with charming illustrations by Hildibrand. While undated, this 1877 edition features the two elephants at the top corners of the front cover, indicative of earliest Verne editions.
