( ) The premisse of this story is a bit of a personal nightmare to me, being trapped in the basket of a balloon with a stranger who's clearly a basket case (silly pun intended). The rambling of the character makes this a strenuous read, and the reciting of early day balloonists failed to engage me. Even the dangerous and arduous trip in the balloon failed to grab my attention. It seems my memory of the few Jules Verne books I read as a kid serves me right: they're hit or miss. I either love them (like Around the World in 80 Days), or not like them at all (like this one). geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: Pioneering science-fiction writer Jules Verne is the second most translated author of all time (after Agatha Christie.) This translation of his short story A Voyage in a Balloon first appeared in Sartain's Union Magazine of Literature and Art in a May 1852 edition, making it the first of the French writer's stories to be published in English. As Verne writes in this story: "May this terrific recital, while it instructs those who read it, not discourage the explorers of the routes of air." .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
