Captain Antifer

Volume 40 of 54 of Jules Verne's "Extraordinary Voyages", first published in 1895. Captain Antifer is the son of a man who saved the wealthy Egyptian Kamylk Pasha, and was promised his inheritance. The legacy is hidden, however, and Antifer only possesses the latitude of the treasure. In his search for the longitude, Antifer witnesses the treachery of other powers who desire this immense treasure. 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.
