{"product_id":"9781473391192","title":"Five Weeks in a Balloon - A Voyage of Exploration and Discovery in Central Africa","description":"This vintage book contains Jules Verne's \"Five Weeks in a Balloon\". It is a satire of the myriad books on African travel contemporary with its publication - although so far as the landscape, inhabitants, animals, and features of the countries are described, it is completely accurate. An abundantly amusing and interesting tale, this is a book that will entertain a wide range of readers, and one that would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Jules Gabriel Verne (1828 - 1905) was a famous French writer renowned for his adventure novels and his considerable influence on the development of science fiction. Other books by this author include: \"Journey to the Centre of the Earth\" (1864) and \"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea\" (1870). This vintage book is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition, complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.","brand":"Read Books Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144565473520,"sku":"9781473391192","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781473391192_p0.jpg?v=1763601594","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781473391192","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
