Five Weeks in a Balloon (Used)

Description

Synopsis

Originally published in 1863, this is the work that marked the beginning of Jules Verne's resounding success and the birth of his "Extraordinary Voyages." Dr. Samuel Fergusson, a daring English explorer, sets out on an unprecedented feat: to cross the African continent from east to west, not by land, but aboard a hot air balloon named the Victoria.

Accompanied by his loyal servant Joe and his skeptical friend Dick Kennedy, Fergusson will fly over deserts, jungles, and unexplored river sources, facing the whims of the weather and dangerous encounters with wildlife and local tribes. With a masterful blend of scientific rigor, classic adventure, and the optimism characteristic of the age of great discoveries, Verne immerses us in an aerial journey where human ingenuity is the only tool to conquer the unknown.
