This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five Weeks in a Balloon was Jules Verne’s first published novel – he had adapted it from a work of non-fiction at the suggestion of his editor, Jules Hetzel. The novel was published in 1863, before successful balloon-air flight was accomplished. The story is pure adventure and typically Verne. It is not without its drawbacks – it is unpolished compared to some of Verne’s later works and the racism is difficult for today’s readers to accept. As a first adventure story, it was a testament as to what was to come from Verne – proving his publisher Hetzel had backed a winner. This annotated edition includes a biography and critical essay.

Book excerpt: Five Weeks in a Balloon, or, Journeys and Discoveries in Africa by Three Englishmen (French: Cinq semaines en ballon) is an adventure novel by Jules Verne, published in 1863. It is the first novel in which he perfected the "ingredients" of his later work, skillfully mixing a plot full of adventure and twists that hold the reader's interest with passages of technical, geographic, and historic description. The book gives readers a glimpse of the exploration of Africa, which was still not completely known to Europeans of the time, with explorers traveling all over the continent in search of its secrets.Public interest in fanciful tales of African exploration was at its height, and the book was an instant hit; it made Verne financially independent and got him a contract with Jules Hetzel's publishing house, which put out several dozen more works of his for over forty years afterward.

Book excerpt: This is Jules Verne's novel both acting as a travelogue of a fantastic balloon trip across Africa, but also it is a skewering of other such books of the day that glamorized such dangerous travel. Often, wealthy and somewhat naive travelers lost their lives when faced with the realities of "a simple little trip through Africa."Verne's voyagers set out in a balloon powered by water that is somehow turned into hydrogen to fill the gas bag. It also allows them to turn it into a hot air balloon at one point to make an escape.The voyagers face both blasé as well as dangerous natives, needlessly kill animals and see many incredible sights.If read as the satire Verne supposedly meant it to be, this is an amusing look at what little brains and loads of money can do for you. If looked at as being a serious work, it is an intriguing study of crossing the "belt" region of the entire African continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was a large audience assembled on the 14th of January, 1862, at the session of the Royal Geographical Society, No. 3 Waterloo Place, London. The president, Sir Francis M -, made an important communication to his colleagues, in an address that was frequently interrupted by applause. This rare specimen of eloquence terminated with the following sonorous phrases bubbling over with patriotism: "England has always marched at the head of nations" (for, the reader will observe, the nations always march at the head of each other), "by the intrepidity of her explorers in the line of geographical discovery." (General assent). "Dr. Samuel Ferguson, one of her most glorious sons, will not reflect discredit on his origin."
