First complete English translation of Verne s debut novel from 1863One of the great first novels in world literature is now available in a complete, accurate English translation. Prepared by two of America s leading Verne scholars, Frederick Paul Walter and Arthur B. Evans, this edition honors not only Verne s farseeing science, but also his zest, style, and storytelling brilliance. Initially published in 1863, Five Weeks in a Balloon was the first novel in what would become the author s Extraordinary Voyages series. It tells the tale of a 4,000mile balloon trip over the mysterious continent of Africa, a trip that wouldn t actually take place until well into the next century. Fusing adventure, comedy, and science fiction, Five Weeks has all the key ingredients of classic Verne: sly humor and cheeky characters, an innovative scientific invention, a tangled plot that s full of suspense and surprise, and visions of an unknown realm. As part of the Early Classics of Science Fiction series, this critical edition features extensive notes, all the illustrations from the original French edition, and a complete Verne biography and bibliography. Five Weeks in a Balloon will be a prized addition to libraries and science fiction reading lists, and a mustread for Verne fans and steampunk connoisseurs.
