Les Indes-Noires

1876 1ed Jules Verne Indes-Noires + Chancellor Extraordinary Voyages SciFi 2in1 "In a very real sense, Jules Verne is one of the pioneers of the space age." ― Frank Borman, Daytona Beach Morning Journal, 1969. Jules Verne's adventure novels are some of the most popular and famous works of literature of all time. OF course, he is best known for books such as '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea', and 'Around the World in 80 Days', he also wrote lesser-known books like 'Underground City'. This book, also known as 'The Child of the Cavern', is a story about the good fortunes that come from mining in Scotland; however, Verne opens up a world of mysteries and bizarre goblin encounters in the mine! This work is the 16th part of 'Voyages Extraordinaires', Verne's largest collection of fantasy novels and stories. In addition to 'Les Indes-noires', this book contains Verne's 'Wreck of the Chancellor' – the story of the final voyage of British sailing ship the Chancellor, told from the perspective of the diary one of its passengers. At the beginning of its voyage, the Chancellor carried eight passengers and twenty crew members, but tragically, by the end, only eleven people remained alive.
