About This Item
1889 Jules Verne Michel Strogoff Adventure Novel Russia French Hetzel Illustrated
"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, 'Michael Strogoff,' the fourteenth work in the 'Extraordinary Voyages' series, is one of Verne's best-written books, and some critics even say there is no better Verne novel. However, it never garnered the popularity that other classics like '20,000 Leagues' or 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' had. 'Michael Strogoff' is an adventure novel that uncovers scientific phenomena rather than science fiction.
Note on dating: like many other Verne first editions, the title page included was issued in each edition, including later printings. This particular edition of Verne's was published in 1889 – note the ads at the end advertising for the releases in the 1890 print year. This edition also features the two elephants at the top corners of the front cover, indicative of earliest Verne editions.
