Item description from seller

190x130x30mm+514g . . 500g Postage Incorrect see below for 1kg . . Sampson Low; Marston; Searle and Rivington. London. 1890. First Edition. 1st Printing. . First English Translation Edition 1890. Translation of LE EXILES DE LA TERRE: SELENE-COMPANY LIMITED. (1887). Illustrated by Georges Roux. written by Laurie. A. (pseudonym of Jean Francois Paschal Grousset 1844-1909.). Laurie was a contemporary and sometimes a collaborator of Jules Verne. “Like Jules Verne, he was another discovery of publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel. Two of his manuscripts were modified by Jules Verne to become Les Cinq Cent Millions de la Begum (1879) and L'Étoile du Sud (1884), and credited to Verne. L'Épave du Cynthia (1885) was attributed to both Verne and Laurie; it is entirely Grousset's work”. Wikipedia. A summary of this story :- “A consortium which intends to exploit the Moon’s mineral resources decides that, since our satellite is too far to be reached, it must be brought closer to the Earth. A Sudanese mountain composed of pure iron ore becomes the headquarters of the newly established Selene Company. Solar reflectors are used to provide the energy required to convert the mountain into a huge electro-magnet, with miles of cables wrapped around it. A spaceship-observatory is then built on top of the mountain. When the experiment begins, the mountain is ripped away from the Earth and catapulted to the Moon. There, the protagonists have various adventures and eventually return to Earth by re-energizing the mountain.” Wikiedia. Hardcover. Illustrated front boards and spine Gilt lettering on front and spine. Back board and edges show wear, corners bumped. Interior is bright and binding tight. This is a very important Early Work in the genre of Science fiction. Extra photos provided on request. . . Australia_Post_Zoned_International_Shipping_Rates_FOR_THIS_PARCEL . .
