Beschreibung

"Marahuna: A Romance" by H. B. Marriott Watson 1888 Very Rare First Edition Antique Hardcover Book 7 1/2" x 5 1/2" 298 Pages The book is in good minus condition free from rips, tears, writing and bends. There are a couple of pages with some minor stains. The boards are in good minus condition with wear around the edges and spine. The binding is tight. The book is slightly askew. Marriott Watson's first novel, Marahuna: A Romance (1888) is sf; the eponymous female a lamia figure clearly influenced by H Rider Haggard's Ayesha, who first appears in She: A History of Adventure (1886) is "rescued" by a research ship from near a fiery ring at the heart of a weirdly clement Antarctica, and may well come from the interior of the Earth (see Hollow Earth) in accordance with the theories of John Cleves Symmes, and in contradiction to the theory of Evolution as then held. After being taken to England where she causes romantic havoc, Marahuna (who may not be of human), dives into another volcano, perhaps returning home. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 404
