![Five Weeks In a Balloon Jules Verne [Quick Book Review] [Spoiler-Free] [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xp0mFYihnrU/hqdefault.jpg "Five Weeks In a Balloon Jules Verne [Quick Book Review] [Spoiler-Free] [CC]
The first adventure in Jules Verne’s now-classic Extraordinary Voyages series – a cartography expedition over Africa in a hot-air balloon.
A really nice written review on a more updated translation of this book from the original French: http://www.strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/reviews/five-weeks-in-a-balloon-by-jules-verne-translated-by-frederick-paul-walter
^ Among other topics, this reviewer talks about issues of racism as they compare in Verne’s original French edition, William Lackland’s English translation (the one I listened to on Librivox), and Frederick Paul Walter’s newest English translation, which he considers the better of these two translations.
This book is in the public domain in the US!
