Description: Cinco semanas en globo/Cinq semaines au ballon by Jules Verne Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description El doctor Samuel Fergusson, sabio y explorador inglés, acompañado por su criado Joe y por su amigo Dick Kennedy, decide atravesar el continente africano, que hasta ese momento sólo era conocido de modo fragmentario, usando un globo hinchado con hidrógeno. Un dispositivo de su invención, que permite subir o bajar a voluntad sin perder gas o echar lastre en busca de corrientes favorables, convierte al globo en un aparato dirigible. La idea de este viaje es unir las exploraciones realizadas por Burton y Speke en el África Oriental con las de Heinrich Barth en las regiones del Sahara y el Chad, y hallar las fuentes del Nilo. Los tres aeronautas parten de la isla de Zanzíbar en el globo Victoria y recorren durante cinco semanas los Montes de la Luna (donde sucede la aventura del elefante remolcador), el lago Victoria (que reconocen como la fuente del Nilo), el Nilo, los montes Auríferos (donde suceden las aventuras del misionero, de la codicia y de la sed), el lago Chad (donde el globo es deshecho y Joe se pierde), el desierto del Sahara (el huracán), el río Níger (donde el nuevo Victoria comienza a fallar y ocurre el ataque de los talibas) hasta las cataratas de GÜina en el río Senegal, antes de volver a Inglaterra, donde son recibidos con entusiasmo y ganan la medalla de oro por la mejor aventura del año 1862. Un savant et explorateur, le Dr Samuel Fergusson, accompagné de son serviteur Joe et son ami chasseur professionnel Richard "Dick" Kennedy, décident de survoler lAfrique orientale, de Zanzibar aux sources du Nil - pas encore totalement explorée - à bord dun ballon gonflé à lhydrogène, le "Victoria". Il a inventé un mécanisme qui, en éliminant la nécessité de libérer du gaz ou de jeter de lest pour contrôler son altitude, permet de très longs trajets à prendre. Ce voyage est destiné à relier les voyages de Sir Richard Burton et John Hanning Speke en Afrique de lEst avec celles de Heinrich Barth dans les régions du Sahara et du Tchad. Le voyage commence à Zanzibar sur la côte est, et passe à travers le lac Victoria, le lac Tchad, Agadez, Tombouctou, Djenné et Ségou à St Louis dans le jour moderne Sénégal sur la côte ouest. Le livre décrit les multiples et dangereuses aventures que vont vivre les trois hommes. Author Biography Jules Verne (1828-1905) used a combination of scientific facts and his imagination to take readers on extraordinary imaginative journeys to fantastic places.
