Immerse yourself in a classic tale of South American adventure with this antique edition of Jules Verne’s "Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon". Published by the A.L. Burt Company as part of their "Cornell Series," this 409-page volume features the brand's iconic green cloth binding and gold-stamped spine. While the Cornell Series ran from 1898 to 1927, the specific branding on this book indicates it was likely produced between 1902 and 1915.
Unlike Verne’s more famous science fiction, this novel—also known as "The Giant Raft"—is a riveting mystery and travelogue. It follows the journey of Joam Garral as he travels down the Amazon River on a massive log raft, racing to decipher a cryptogram that will prove his innocence before he reaches the gallows. The book is celebrated for Verne's rich, detailed descriptions of the flora, fauna, and indigenous cultures of the Brazilian rainforest. Measuring approximately 7 1/2" by 5", this sturdy volume shows honest signs of its long history, including some separation at the spine and pencil marks on the cover page, which only add to its character as a genuine antique artifact.
This item is antique, over 100 years old.
