Edition illustrated by a frontispiece by André Derain.
A small aesthetic manifesto, there is the same aesthetic of surprise, the same taste for a story without tail or head, the same construction based on a profound heterogeneity of the chapters. Several chapters are in fact dialogues in verse (Council, Second Council, Congress), others are made up of letters (Correspondence, Recoil).

First miscroscopic edition by Didot.
Performance by the printer Didot who fit the entire text of Cervantes into a single tiny volume. As Brunet remarks, it is not easy to read, and Didot printed a more convenient two-volume edition a few years later. 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.

This short story full of humor, where the author tells the story of the life of a peaceful village in Flanders, which will be disturbed by the invention of Doctor Ox and his assistant Ygene. A fun little allusion, the combination of the two names forms the word “oxygen”. These two titles are followed by four short stories.
