Five Weeks in a Balloon, or, Journeys and Discoveries in Africa by Three Englishmen (French: Cinq semaines en ballon) is an adventure novel by Jules Verne.

It is the first Verne novel in which he perfected the "ingredients" of his later work, 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.

Public interest in fanciful tales of African exploration was at its height, and the book was an instant hit; it made Verne financially independent and got him a contract with Jules Hetzel's publishing house, which put out several dozen more works of his for over forty years afterward.

This book is fully illustrated and features footnotes. No LRF format on this, because the LRF format didn't like the footnotes and the pagebreak system I have used for the benefit of PRC and Epub. If someone wants to make a valuable LRF, please ask for the source.
This work is in the Canadian public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution. It may still be under copyright in some countries. If you live outside Canada, check your country's copyright laws. If the book is under copyright in your country, do not download or redistribute this work.

I wonder why the English version is "Action" and the French is "Science Fiction"

I've been known to give one single book four different tags. IT is "action", adventure", "travel", "sf" and "Historical Fiction". Just make your choice

The link on this thread points to the French version. Is that correct, or is there an English version available?
