Five Weeks in a Balloon is Jules Verne's first published adventure novel, in which three Englishmen cross Africa in a hydrogen balloon. Dr. Samuel Ferguson, his friend Dick Kennedy, and their servant Joe survey little-known regions and face various hazards along the way. It is worth hearing as an early example of Verne's blend of exploration, science and adventure.
