Five Weeks In a Balloon: With Illustrations (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781535375542)

This is the first novel in which Verne perfected the "ingredients" of his later work in the series, skillfully mixing a plot full of adventure and twists that hold the reader's interest with passages of technical, geographic, and historic description. The book gives readers a glimpse of the exploration of Africa, which was still not completely known to Europeans of the time, with explorers traveling all over the continent in search of its secrets.
