The Meteor Hunt
The First English Translation of Vernes Original Manuscript
This is the story of a meteor of pure gold careening toward
the earth and generating competitive greed among ama-
teur astronomers and chaos among nations obsessed with
the trajectory of the great golden object. Set primarily in
the United States and offering a humorous critique of the
American way of life, The Meteor Hunt is nally given due
critical treatment in the translators foreword, detailed an-
notations, and afterword, which clearly establish the his-
torical, political, scientic, and literary context and impor-
tance of this long-obscured, genre-blending masterpiece in
its true form.
