Five weeks in a balloon by Jules Verne
Jules Verne was a prolific French writer who greatly influenced the science fiction genre. Verne is the second most-translated author behind only Agatha Christie. A scholar, Dr. Samuel Ferguson, accompanied by his manservant Joe and his friend Richard 'Dick' Kennedy, sets out to travel across the African continent - still not fully explored - with the help of a hot-air balloon.
