Description from the seller

First and only illustrated edition.
The illustration includes 35 engravings by Georges Roux, including 5 photographic reproductions of Vienna and 6 chromolithographies.

Volume housed in its beautiful box called 'Aux feuilles d'acanthe' with a red label.

Condition: Spine and front cover slightly dull but clean. Punctured corners, small tears on the headbands. Back cover in good condition. Hinge paper torn along the first endpaper (solid volume). Interior yellowed but without foxing.

A posthumous novel in which the hero, a Hungarian fisherman, is guiding Paris to navigate along the Danube, covering 3,000 km with no resources other than his fishing. This journey coincides with a series of murders and burglaries across Europe, as the story is also a detective novel.
