348,95 kr. A man believed to be dead for many years has, in actual fact, all the while been carefully planning his meticulous revenge mission whilst in hiding, living under an assumed identity, and he is now, finally, about to come out of hiding to exert devastating vengeance on his enemies. Not alone is he acting on his own behalf, but he equally seeks to avenge the deaths of his fallen comrades-in-arms. This man is the eponymous Avenger of the Dead - Mathias Sandorf. This is a first-time translation into English of Michel Verne's novelization of his 1921 film version of his father Jules Verne's classic 1883 adventure story Mathias Sandorf. In addition to the rendering itself, by Verne scholar and translator/translation theorist Kieran O'Driscoll, this volume contains a wealth of fascinating research about the film itself, its actors and its director, with copious illustrations including press cuttings, film posters and film stills, by Verne and Film Studies expert Philippe Burgaud. This volume is dedicated to the memory of the late Dr Brian Taves, Verne and Film Studies scholar who sadly passed away during the preparation of this volume in which he had been a key collaborator.

358,95 kr. Ce roman a été terminé et remanié par Michel Verne, après la mort de son père Jules Verne. Un projet de loi ayant été déposé par le député Barsac, tendant à créer cinq sièges de députés dans la Sénégambie, la Haute Guinée et la partie du Soudan français située à l'ouest du Niger, et à accorder l'électorat, voire l'éligibilité, aux gens de couleur, sans distinction de race, cette proposition obtient un franc de succès. Le Ministère est invité à constituer une mission qui parcourra cette région comprise dans la boucle du Niger et qui rédigera un rapport au vu duquel la Chambre statuera ultérieurement. La mission Barsac ayant commencé son périple se heurte au cours de ses investigations à un nombre croissant de difficultés. Ils finissent par être kidnappés et transportés au moyen de machines, mi hélicoptère, mi avions dans une ville, Blackland, inconnue du reste du monde et située en plein désert...

378,95 kr. Jules Verne's series of science fiction and adventure tales, the "Extraordinary Journeys," were subtitled "Worlds Known and Unknown," so that is an appropriate title for this volume of the Palik Series, edited by the North American Jules Verne Society and devoted to the author's stories not previously translated for the English-speaking world. Worlds Known and Unknown is an anthology featuring a variety of astonishing shorter works, with background and illustrations chosen from the original engravings that accompanied the first French publication and other historical sources. Beginning with his own adventures, Verne recounts several harrowing balloon ascensions, followed by a ghostly tale, and two satires of evolution-a man leading an army of apes, and a P.T. Barnum-type huckster unearthing a prehistoric human giant in New York! Here also is Verne's stage recreation of a romance between Mona Lisa and Leonardo da Vinci, and a series of fantastic stories by Jules Verne's son and collaborator, Michel Verne.
