About This Item
1874 JULES VERNE 1st US ed Meridiana Adventures Voyages Exploration Scribner
"Meridiana: The Adventures of Three Englishmen and Three Russians in South Africa" is a 19th century adventure novel written by iconic author, Jules Verne. This 1874 first American edition features 48 steel-engraved plates, adding a layer of visual detail to Verne's already vivid and exciting prose. The story follows the thrilling adventures of a group of explorers as they journey through the vast and uncharted wilderness of South Africa, encountering a range of challenges and obstacles along the way. As described by Myers, the book 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."
This 1874 first American popular edition with its steel-engraved plates is a valuable collector's item for fans of Jules Verne and classic adventure literature.
