Une ville flottante (A Floating City). Jules Verne. Illustrator: Jules Férat.

Une ville flottante (A Floating City). Jules Verne. Illustrator: Jules Férat. Paris: J. Hetzel, 1872.The novel was the direct result of the trip which the author made to America in 1867, on the largest iron ship ever built. He gives us a faithful picture of the natural and usual incidents of an ocean voyage of those days, enlivening these by introducing a romance aboard ship. The pictures of the “Great Eastern, ” are exaggerated, not so much in words themselves as in the impressions they convey. -- source link
