Comet Adventure (SeaWolf Press Illustrated Classic) for Readers
A unique edition with 100 original illustrations by Paul Philippoteaux. Jules Verne's 1877 science fiction novel, "Off on a Comet," was first published in France under the original title, "Hector Servadac." Later publications changed the name to the more familiar "Off on a Comet."
The story begins with a comet called Gallia, which touches the Earth in its flight and collects a few small chunks of it. This disaster occurs on January 1 around Gibraltar. On the territory that is carried away by the comet, there remain a total of thirty-six people of French, English, Spanish, and Russian nationality. These people do not realize at first what has happened and consider the collision an earthquake.
During a new collision of the comet with Earth two years later, the castaways return to Earth in a balloon they put together. They had been living on the comet, unaware of their extraordinary circumstances, until this second encounter with their home planet.
The unique edition of "Off on a Comet" features 100 original illustrations by Paul Philippoteaux, adding a visual dimension to this captivating science fiction tale. Verne's imaginative storytelling and the vivid illustrations create a truly immersive reading experience, transporting the reader to the wonders and challenges faced by the characters as they navigate the unexpected journey on the comet.
This classic work of science fiction continues to captivate readers with its blend of adventure, scientific speculation, and human drama. Verne's ability to blend plausible scientific concepts with engaging narratives has made "Off on a Comet" a beloved and enduring work of literature.
The adaptation of the original French title, "Hector Servadac," to the more recognizable "Off on a Comet" has not diminished the story's impact or its ability to capture the imagination of readers across generations. Through the unique edition featuring Philippoteaux's illustrations, readers can now enjoy this classic tale with added visual richness, further enhancing the overall reading experience.
