{"product_id":"five-weeks-in-a-balloon-jules-verne-9781446521298","title":"Five Weeks in a Balloon - A Voyage of Exploration and Discovery in Central Africa","description":"This vintage book contains Jules Verne's \"Five Weeks in a Balloon\". It is a satire of the myriad books on African travel contemporary with its publication - although so far as the landscape, inhabitants, animals, and features of the countries are described, it is completely accurate. An abundantly amusing and interesting tale, this is a book that will entertain a wide range of readers, and one that would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Jules Gabriel Verne (1828 - 1905) was a famous French writer renowned for his adventure novels and his considerable influence on the development of science fiction. Other books by this author include: \"Journey to the Centre of the Earth\" (1864) and \"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea\" (1870). This vintage book is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition, complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jules Verne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 144652129X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781446521298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Freeman Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.98d","brand":"Jules Verne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439172825343,"sku":"9781446521298","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_105344c1-0c8a-49c9-abca-35d56accf5b0.jpg?v=1777175927","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/five-weeks-in-a-balloon-jules-verne-9781446521298","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
