Besides the story itself, this standalone edition includes an introduction with a biography of the author, a background historical essay, and translator's notes along with a vintage illustration from the original 1870 publication.Let Vilhelm Bergs e whisk you away on an aerial jaunt like no other - but there's no telling where you'll come down!
