About This Item
Family without a Name: a Romance of the Rebellion of 1837 in Quebec, Verne, Jules; Translated By Edward Baxter
Published by NC Press, Toronto, 1982. 8vo up to 9½" tall., 312pp. with black and white illustrations. Rose boards with gilt spine titles. Volume is in fine, unmarked condition; unclipped jacket has a light water stain across lower edge of rear panel, not affecting volume.
Volume 33 of 54 of Jules Verne's Extraordinary Voyages, first published in 1889 in France under the title Famille-sans-nom. The second of Jules Verne's novels set in Canada, this adventure depicts the life of a family in Lower Canada during the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837 and 1838 that sought an independent and democratic republic for Lower Canada.
Verne wrote the book after the Franco-Prussian War, during which France had lost the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine to Germany; the echo of rebellion against oppressor is mirrored in this novel. In 1978, the French publishing house Edité par Union générale d'éditions released an edition of Famille-Sans-Nom which included the phrase "Pour un Québec libre" (For a Free Quebec) to the dustjacket.
