Summary:

"Nearly a century before space travel captured the imaginations of science-fiction writers and readers, Jules Verne envisioned an incident in which a comet impact sends a piece of the Earth on a two-year trip around the solar system. Thirty-six people of various nationalities are swept away by the collision and forced to put aside their differences to survive an increasingly frigid atmosphere-and to, hopefully, find their way home"-- Provided by publisher.

Notes:

"This Dover edition, first published in 2020, is an unabridged republication of the Edward Roth translation, sometimes titled Hector Servadac: part two, which appeared in various printings between 1878 and 1895."
