About This Novel
The work of the famous French writer Jules Verne is his first published novel and the first part of his series "Strange Journey". In the first half of the 19th century, although many explorers, geographers, and travelers conducted arduous and outstanding expeditions to Africa and left behind many precious materials and maps, they were still unable to explore the African region between 14° and 33° east longitude. At this time, the British traveler Dr. Ferguson decided to verify the results of previous expeditions and conduct an inspection of this region of Africa. Although he was doubted by everyone, he, together with his friends and servants, set out from Zanzibar in Africa, took a hydrogen balloon of his own design, and experienced numerous difficulties and obstacles all the way north, and finally arrived at the French territory on the Senegal River, thus completing the unfinished business of his predecessors and breaking everyone's speculation and doubts. The description of the scenery of the African continent is very vivid and detailed in the book. Mountains, seas, swamps, desert rivers, volcanoes and other tropical landforms are all covered in the novel. The work fully reflects the author's extensive knowledge and extremely rich imagination. The novel vehicles and beautiful scenery add to the interest of the book.
