Description
This is the fully illustrated and extended annotated edition including a rare and extensive biographical essay on the author, his life and works plus a wealth of illustrations.
The Lottery Ticket is not one of Mr. Verne's typical sea-air-adventure-stories, although it belongs to the author's well-known series called Voyages Extraordinaires. Ole Kamp, a fisherman, promises his wife-to-be Hulda, that he will make her rich after one more journey with a fishing-boat. But the boat never returns - instead a bottle arrives, containing a note for Hulda and the lottery ticket. News about the supposed tragedy mingle with high expectations and drawing-day is coming nearer and nearer.
