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."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One 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 4,000-mile 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 must-read for Verne fans and steampunk connoisseurs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jules Verne has been acknowledged --for 150 years -- as one of the founders of the science fiction story telling genre; but, curiously enough, over a century ago readers knew him as the most popular writer of a kind of literature cataloged under the name of Travel Novel; the purpose of those who cultivated the genre was as much to teach as to entertain. However, Jules Verne went beyond the Travel Novel and became the most accredited representative of the Scientific Novel, which he further developed into the Science Fiction Novel. It would be pointless to ask Jules Verne if he brought science into the context of the novel or simply introduced the novel in the field of science; his enthusiasm led him from one genre to the other, and his creativity, his fertility did the rest. Jules Verne was the first, at least in France, to use the marvelous scientist as main character; an element of his story-telling that especially established his enormous success.After Journey to the Center of the Earth and Journey Around the Word in 80 Days, MS BookS Publishing proudly presents for your reading enjoyment: Five Weeks in a Balloon --a journey of discovery in Africa by three Englishmen; Doctor Ferguson, his friend Kennedy and his valet Joe undertake the crossing of the African continent in a balloon. The reader learns the geography of Africa and the history of its main explorers and follows, along the way, a course of aerostation. Five Weeks in a Balloon launched Jules Verne in 1863 into a famous and well-respected career, writing prescient literature loved worldwide. I have mentioned in previous forewords that I aspire to give verbatim translations of these classic books, because, when I read Jules Verne I want to read Jules Verne's words. However, this book, Verne's first published work, has some rough edges; in the original text were found trying words, commonly used in 19th Century literature, but today ripe with condescension --bigoted words-- that wisdom and the emancipation of the human mind would today find offensive. In the past, the word Negro was too often used to describe African natives, as the word Indian described American natives. Such terms lack universal sensibility and are inaccurate, so I translated using accurate terminology, in no way condescending. What is true of the native people of the American continent such as Inuits, Haudenosaunee, Aztec... is also true of the native people of the African continent with a wide range of culture, language and skin tones in a highly diverse population of Egyptians, Ethiopians, Zambians... I must be honest with the reader and admit that translating this book was somewhat like walking through a minefield of dangerously inappropriate expressions, which at times made me wince. That said, while staying true to Verne's narrative I employed appropriate, accurate words and treated the African natives with all due respect. After all, as Voltaire once wrote: All nations have not always been civilized; all nations were for a long time uncivilized --savage; and in the infinite number of revolutions, which this globe has experienced, the human race has sometimes been thriving, sometimes crumbling. What is now happening to the elephants, the lions, and the tigers, has in the past happened to the human race. At the time when a country was sparsely populated, the habit of feeding on what they had killed made it easy for them to treat their enemies as their deer and wild boars. It was superstition that made humans immolate human victims, but it was necessity that made them eat each other.Enjoy Five Weeks in a Balloon.
