Description

A shock like an earthquake lifts a scrap of Earth onto comet Gallia. Hector Servadac, Captain Timascheff, and some thirty-six French, English, Spanish, and Russian souls at first call it only a quake, until gravity goes strange and the Mediterranean has left its planet. Named officers and a remnant learn they ride a rock in space: cold, orbit, and a year of calculation while geography comes loose.

Author

Jules Verne (1828–1905) made curiosity feel like a form of travel. Under the sea, into the earth, around the world in a wager: the marvellous arrives with a logbook. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas is the cold thrill of a closed world moving through a larger one; Around the World in Eighty Days is speed, manners, and a clock that will not forgive. The books remain among the most companionable ever written for the restless.
