Item description from seller

Octavo, pp. [1-8] [1] 2-458 [459] [460: blank] [461: ads] [462-464: blank] [note: first and last leaves are blanks], inserted frontispiece (portrait of Jokai), title page printed in orange and black, original decorated blue cloth, front and spine panels stamped in gold and silver, fore and bottom edges untrimmed. First U.S. edition. Perhaps a later printing as there is no date printed on the title page. A translation of A FEKETE GYEMANTOK by Frances A. Gerard (a pseudonym of Miss Geraldine Fitzgerald). A scientist seeks to create a utopia. Partly set in the Arctic sea. One of Jokai's most important works of fantasy and science fiction. Jokai wrote a good deal of fantasy and science fiction that has not been translated into English. Bloch's Bibliographie der Utopie und Phantastik (2002) lists twelve titles that were translated into German in the late nineteenth century. Clute and Nicholls (editors), The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1993), p. 603 and 647. Not in Bleiler (1948; 1978) or Reginald (1979; 1992). Closed tear in advertising leaf at rear, a bright, otherwise near fine copy. (#129677). …
