Published in 1863, Five Weeks in a Balloon was the first novel in what would become Jules Verne's "Extraordinary Voyages" series. It recounts the adventures of scholar and explorer Dr. Samuel Fergusson, accompanied by his manservant Joe and his friend Richard "Dick" Kennedy, who make a 4,000-mile trip across the African continent-still not fully explored-in a hydrogen balloon. When the books was published, public interest in fanciful tales of African exploration was at its height, and the novel was an instant hit; it made Verne financially independent and led to long-term contracts for some sixty books over the next four decades. Mixing adventure, comedy, and science fiction, the book has all the ingredients of a classic Verne novel: sly humor, cheeky characters, scientific invention, a tangled plot, suspense, surprise, and visions of an unknown realm. More than 150 years after its first publication, it retains its ability to intrigue and entertain.Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.

Passing through exotic lands and dangerous locations, they seize whatever transportation is at hand-whether train or elephant-overcoming impossible setbacks and always racing against the clock.

This well-loved novel by science-fiction writer Jules Verne wonderfully captures the spirit of adventure that was bubbling around the beginning of the twentieth century. Entertaining and enthralling from beginning to end, this classic adventure tale is impossible to put down.

Facing the Flag or For the Flag (French: Face au drapeau) is an 1896 patriotic novel by Jules Verne. The book is part of the Voyages extraordinaires series.Like The Begum's Millions, which Verne published in 1879, it has the theme of France and the entire world threatened by a super-weapon with the threat finally overcome through the force of French patriotism.It can be considered one of the first books dealing with problems which were to become paramount half a century after its publication in World War II and the Cold War: brilliant scientists discovering new weapons of great destructive power, whose full utilization might literally destroy the world; the competition between superpowers to obtain overwhelming stockpiles of such weapons; and, efforts of other nations to join the nuclear club.
