1884 1^ed Jules Verne Vanished Diamond Archipelago on Fire Hetzel Elephants! 2in1

“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, this first edition of “The Vanished Diamond”, part of Verne’s ‘Extraordinary Voyages’, follows the story of a mining engineer who seeks to study the formation of diamonds. It is a story of love and adventure, written in the classic ‘Verne’ style.

This rare, 1884 first edition includes the famed ‘two elephants’ on the front cover! As expected, this edition includes one of Verne’s least known adventures novels – ‘The Archipelago on Fire’. Two first edition works in one!
