Cinq Semaines En Ballon

Cinq semaines en ballon

by Jules Verne

Un savant, Samuel Ferguson, accompagné de son domestique Joe et de son ami Dick Kennedy entreprend de traverser le continent africain — alors incomplètement exploré — à l'aide d'un ballon gonflé à l'hydrogène. Il a en effet inventé un dispositif qui, en lui évitant de perdre du gaz ou de devoir jeter du lest pour régler son altitude, autorise les plus longs voyages. Ce voyage est supposé relier les explorations faites par Burton et Speke en Afrique orientale à celles de Heinrich Barth dans les régions du Sahara et du Tchad. Partis de Zanzibar, les trois aéronautes réalisent effectivement la traversée, au prix de mille aventures au terme desquelles ils parviennent au Sénégal avant de retourner en Angleterre où ils reçoivent un accueil enthousiaste. (Résumé par Wikipédia) An English version is available / Une version anglaise est disponible : Five Weeks in a Balloon. Findes på dansk / Une version danoise est disponible: Fem uger i ballon.
