About this ebook
• For a better glance, a small graphic is added at the beginning of each chapter.
• With a picture of Jules Verne, a detailed biography of him is added.
The story begins with a comet passing by the Earth and collecting a few little pieces of it. A total of forty people from various countries and ages have been sentenced to a two-year voyage aboard the comet. They develop a mini-society to deal with the comet's terrible environment (mostly the cold). The 'comet' has a diameter of around 2300 kilometres, significantly greater than any comet or asteroid known to exist."
Jules Verne
Jules Gabriel Verne was born in the seaport of Nantes, France, in 1828 and was destined to follow his father into the legal profession. In Paris to train for the bar, he took more readily to literary life, befriending Alexander Dumas and Victor Hugo, and living by theatre managing and libretto-writing. His first science-based novel, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was issued by the influential publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel in 1862, and made him famous. Verne and Hetzel collaborated to write dozens more such adventures, including 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in 1869 and Around the World in 80 Days in 1872. In later life Verne entered local politics at Amiens, where had had a home. He also kept a house in Paris, in the street now named Boulevard Jules Verne, and a beloved yacht, the Saint Michel, named after his son. He died in 1905.
