Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Pirates Mummies Cannibals Intelligent Apes Samurais Cossacks And
even Saturnians Meet Saturnin Farandoul and his companions, the
fearless Mandibul and the extravagant Tournesol, as they travel the
Earth and beyond in a series of wild and picaresque adventures Of
all the authors who followed in the footsteps of Jules Verne, the
most important was Albert Robida (1848-1926), a writer-artist who
also became the founding father of science fiction illustration.
Robida wrote and illustrated The Adventures of Saturnin Farandoul
(1879), a mammoth, riotous and rollicking homage to Verne in which
the indomitable Farandoul, raised by apes on a Pacific Island,
teams up with Captain Nemo to conquer Australia, battles with
Phileas Fogg in the American Civil War, meets Hector Servadac in
orbit around Saturn, steals a white elephant from Michel Strogoff
in Siberia and challenges Captain Hatteras at the North Pole.
ILLUSTRATED WITH OVER 150 ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS BY ROBIDA.
