Description
1891 Jules Verne Lottery Ticket 9672 Adventure Extraordinary Voyages Hetzel FAMOUS
“Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them.”
― Jules Verne
Jules Verne published a number of lesser-known science fiction, adventure novels in addition to his high profile works such as Twenty Thousand Leagues and Around the World in 80 Days. One such work was The Lottery Ticket – an adventure novel that was popular in both France and America in the late 19th-century telling the story of a fisherman who finds a message-in-a-bottle containing the famous lottery ticket numbered 9672.
Lottery was published in 1886 in the Extraordinary Voyages series by Verne.
Note on dating: like many other Verne first editions, the title page included was issued in each edition, including later printings. The dating comes from the ads in the back of the book – note the ads in this volume advertise for the releases in the 1891-1892 print year.
