A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Volume 28 of 54 of Jules Verne's "Extraordinary Voyages", first printed in 1886. Ole has promised his fiance Hulda an enormous fortune upon his return from a fishing voyage. Once the ship is delayed and presumed lost, a single bottle is found for Hulda from Ole, containing a letter and a single lottery ticket. News and hearsay follow this ticket as suspense and mystery begin to accumulate. What is the meaning of this strange ticket? 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.
