The Meteor Hunt marks the first English translation from Jules Verne's own text of his delightfully satirical and visionary novel. While other, questionable versions of the novel have appeared—mainly, a significantly altered text by Verne's son Michel and translations of it—this edition showcases the original work as Verne wrote it. The Meteor Hunt is the story of a meteor of pure gold careening toward the earth and generating competitive greed among amateur 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 finally given due critical treatment in the translators' foreword, detailed annotations, and afterword, which clearly establish the historical, political, scientific, and literary context and importance of this long-obscured, genre-blending masterpiece in its true form.

The Meteor Hunt: The First English Translation of Verne's Original Manuscript
Απολαυστικότατο μυθιστόÏημα που με πνευματώδη Ï„Ïόπο συνδυάζει μια αστÏονομική ανακάλυψη με την ανθÏώπινη ματαιοδοξία, το κυνήγι του χÏήματος και πώς όλα αυτά εμποδίζουν την αγάπη!
Στην πόλη Γουώστον της ΑμεÏικής δυο εÏασιτÎχνες αστÏονόμοι διεκδικοÏν την ανακάλυψη ενός κομήτη που εκ των υστÎÏων τα ΑστεÏοσκοπεία διατείνονται ότι είναι από χÏυσό. Ο ανιψιός του κ. Îτην ΦοÏσάυτ και η κόÏη του ΔÏ. ΧοÏδελσον, ο ΦÏάνσις ΓόÏδων και η ΤζÎννη ΧοÏδελσον, ζουν το χωÏισμό τους αντί του γάμου τους, Î±Ï†Î¿Ï Î±Ï€ÏŒ παλαιοί φίλοι οι 2 αστÏονόμοι γίνονται άσπονδοι εχθÏοί. Ωστόσο, στο ΠαÏίσι Îνα σοφός εκκεντÏικός, ο ΖεφυÏίνος ΞιÏδάλ καταφÎÏνει με μια μηχανή που κατασκευάζει να εκτÏÎψει την ποÏεία του του κομήτη και να τον Ïίξει σε οικόπεδο που Ï€ÏοαγοÏάζει στην ΟυπεÏνίβικ της ΓÏοιλανδίας κατόπιν ενεÏγειών του θείου/Î½Î¿Î½Î¿Ï Ï„Î¿Ï… Ï„Ïαπεζίτη ΡοβÎÏτο ΛεκÎÏ. Κι όλα αυτά ενώ τα κÏάτη του κόσμου συνδιασκÎπτονται αδιαλείπτως Îχοντας αποκλείσει τους 2 αστÏονόμους και αγνοώντας τις Ï€Ïάξεις του Γάλλου, για την Ï„Ïχη του κομήτη! Τι μÎλλει γενÎσθαι και τι λÏση θα δοθεί;
