Penál Paperblanks - Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues

Jules Gabriel Verne (1828–1905) is the author of some of the world’s most famous books. He has the rare distinction of being the second most translated author in history, right between William Shakespeare and Agatha Christie. This cover in oceanic blue features a page from Verne’s handwritten draft of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. The back cover shows an engraving depicting Captain Nemo observing “a squid of colossal dimensions.”
