Description:
1795 Journey to the West Wu Cheng'en Monkey Ming Chinese Monk Japanese SamuraiAn interesting Meiji woodblock-print of the classic novel 'Journey to the West' 西遊記 is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en as one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. The novel is based on the 7th-century pilgrimage of a Buddhist monk to India in search of sacred texts, which was already part of Chinese folk and literary colloquial stories, a poetic novelette, and a six-part drama. The story is of an epic pilgrimage of a Buddhist monk and his three disciples, the legendary monkey god Sun Wukong, the greedy and mischievous Zhu Bajie and man-eating demon Sha Wujing. The story was translated into English by Arthur Waley titled 'Monkey' and published in 1942.
David Kherdian described it as "probably the most popular book in all of East Asia."
This first edition is of special interest because it was translated into Japanese by Tachibana… Read More

Description:
1874 1ed Jules Verne Behemoth Meridiana Africa Adventure Voyages Illustrated"Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them."
― Jules Verne
In 1873, Scribner's published the first authorized edition of Jules Verne's famous 'Meridiana' or 'Adventures of Three Russians and Three Englishmen in South Africa'. This book, which is part of Verne's 'Extraordinary Voyages,' is
"a hunting story, which aroused many a youthful sportsman's throbbing eagerness for the chase and gave him this first knowledge and earliest enthusiasm for that heart-stirring excitement." (Myers)
This adventures story follows the story of English and Russian scientists who head to South Africa for research. While on their mission, the Crimean War begins, and the researchers find themselves to be enemies of locals.
This 1874 printing was unauthorized and pirated by Shepard and printed under a different title – 'Adventures in the Land of the Behemoth'. Shepard used sheets from the… Read More
