Description
VERNE, Jules (1828-1905). Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours. Paris: Pierre Jules Hetzel, [1873].
8vo. (Some browning.) Contemporary quarter calf (corners and edges restored, recased, spine repaired); slipcase. Provenance: Claudine (presentation inscription).
Later printing, PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY JULES VERNE, "Hommage de Claudine." Around the World in Eighty Days was serialized in Le Temps beginning on November 6, 1872 and was published to coincide with the dates given in the text by Phineas Fogg; because of this many believed that the journey was actually taking place, with numerous bets placed on its success. The last two entries were published on December 22 - one day after Fogg announces his success.
Property from the Patrick Atkinson Collection, Minneapolis, Minnesota
