This is a stunning set of five, 100 year old French, books in faded beige tones. These works are by two of France's most famous writers, Jules Verne and Alexandre Dumas, to give your bookshelves added French chic! These books are genuine French antiquarian books, with authentic timeworn, fluffy pages, yellowed with age spots and delicately scuffed. They are "aged to perfection" and will give you an instant "old library" effect.
The titles are: "Les Naufragés du Jonathan" Tomes I and II. Jules Verne (1924 editions.) Jules Gabriel Verne (8 February 1828 – 24 March 1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright.

It was not published until 1909, after it had been rewritten by Verne's son Michel under the title "Les Naufragés du Jonathan". The covers of these books are loose and some of the pages are "un-cut" at the edges, they have been like this for 100 years, since publication! "Les Quarante-Cinq" Tomes I, II and III.
