First miscroscopic edition by Didot.
Performance by the printer Didot who fit the entire text of Cervantes into a single tiny volume.

The work was commissioned by Joachim Maria de Ferrer, a Spanish statesman, who said Rius, had this edition distributed to his friends.
Most of the copies encountered are covered in a romantic binding by Simier (various variants).

A Floating City refers to the immense ship "Great Eastern" crossing the Atlantic between Liverpool and New York. In this novel, Jules Verne draws inspiration from his own experience, having himself made this crossing on the real British "SS Great Eastern", then the largest and largest transatlantic liner of the time. This ship, where thousands of people and the crew live together, forms a micro society and therefore a real “floating city”. An adventure novel follows. Three Russian scientists (Mathieu Strux, Nicolas Palander, Michel Zorn) and three English scientists (Colonel Everest, Sir John Murray, William Emery), are responsible for working together, and have the mission of measuring a meridian arc. Against this scientific background, a friendship and an infriendship are created. The whole thing was complicated by the start of the Crimean War (1853-1856), which pitted Russia against an Ottoman, French, English and Sardinian coalition.

The story takes place in the near future, where the world is dominated by science and technology. A group of scientists and gunsmiths, led by Michel Ardan, decide to move the Earth on its axis by firing a cannon so gigantic that the tilt of the globe will vary enough to expose the Arctic ice floes to the sun. The idea is to be able to exploit the coal mines which are supposed to be present in the subsoil of the North Pole. The project is ambitious and risky, but Ardan is convinced that it is feasible.

Dutch edition published the same year than the original Parisian edition.
A work which caused a sensation upon its release, taking up the ideas of Rousseau, this novel is in line with the myth of the Good Savage.
Driven by the Spanish invasion, an Indian takes refuge in an unknown valley in South America with his two young children. He raises them in the bosom of good nature, in innocence and virtue, and they all live happily until they welcome into their health a young European who brings into this Eden, like the serpent of Genesis, the vices of civilization.
