Description
This novel by Jules Verne, titled *Le Sphinx des glaces*, published by Hetzel, falls within the adventure and travel literature genre characteristic of the author's work. The story, evoked by the title, suggests an exploratory quest in polar regions, where a mystery or puzzle is revealed through an icy landscape. Jules Verne, a 19th‑century French author, is here represented in a Hetzel edition, a renowned publishing house known for its illustrated publications and collaborations with classic authors. The bibliophilic interest of this volume lies in its connection to the Vernian universe, its original or later edition within the Hetzel collection, as well as in the material condition preserved, reflecting the care given to the bindings and engravings of the period.
