(Book #ID 97019)

Published by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, and Rivington, Crown Buildings, 188 Fleet Street, London, First English Edition 1886. 1886.

First UK edition hard back binding in publisher's original sea blue | green coloured cloth pictorially decorated in black, white and gilt to the spine and the front cover, publisher's blind stamped device to the rear cover, all page edges gilt. Thick 8vo. 8'' x 6''.

Mathias Sandorf was first serialised in Le Temps in 1885, and it was Verne's epic Mediterranean adventure. It employs many of the devices that had served well in his earlier novels: islands, cryptograms, surprise revelations of identity, technically advanced hardware and a solitary figure bent on revenge. He dedicated the novel to the memory of Alexandre Dumas, père, hoping to make Mathias Sandorf the Monte Cristo of Voyages Extraordinaires (The Extraordinary Voyages) series. Sporadic foxing throughout, particularly to the prelims up to page 3, and the rear end paper, recased with rubbing to the original preserved covers, now sound, square and stable.
