by Jules Verne
Category: Fiction

Volume 27 of 54 of Jules Verne's "Extraordinary Voyages", first printed in 1885.Mathias Sandorf is an adventure book by Jules Verne. It was first serialized 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. Verne dedicated the novel to the memory of Alexandre Dumas, hoping to make Mathias Sandorf the "Monte Cristo" of the Voyages Extraordinaires.This particular edition is reproduced from English-edition public works, and is presented simply with an emphasis on straightforward presentation, attractiveness and continuity of appearance, with each title in the "Extraordinary Voyages" sporting a journal-style brown cover accompanied by a cover illustration and quote from the text on the back cover.
