A Drama in the Air
by Jules Verne
Combining futuristic technologies and future-oriented exploration, this collection is Verne's glittering collection. This short work combines the landscapes of the future and a bird's-eye view of the modern age. As the narrator begins the rise of his balloon, a stranger jumps into his car. The only intention of an unexpected passenger is to lift the balloon as much as he travels, even at the cost of his life and the life of the pilot. The attacker uses a long journey to tell the story of events involving the epic of easier travel from the air. This short story heralds Verne's first novel, Five Weeks in a Hot Air Balloon.
