Jules Verne. UIMITOARELE PERIPEȚII ALE JUPÂNULUI ANTIFER. editie noua

Pierre Antifer seeks a fortune hidden on an island. He expects to get it as an heir. The rich Egyptian Kamylk-Pasa will leave it to him. Years ago, Antifer’s father saved this man’s life. Antifer knows the island’s latitude, which tells him how far north or south it lies. He lacks its longitude, which gives its east-west site. His search takes him from place to place. Each new text gives him a new longitude to chase. The pasha’s last heir has slipped into his group. This rival wants all the wealth and brings twists to the hunt.

Jules Verne wrote this adventure novel about clues and travel. It also deals with rival claims to wealth. This edition forms part of a set of books. The set draws from his Calatorii extraordinare cycle. It has black-and-white art by G. Roux. The art draws on the Hetzel edition from the nineteenth century.
