A Drama in the Air
"A Drama in the Air" ((フランス語:'"Un drame dans les airs"')) is an adventure short story by Jules Verne.
The story was first published in August 1851 under the title "Science for families. A Voyage in a Balloon" ("La science en famille. Un voyage en ballon") in ''Musée des familles'' with five illustrations by Alexandre de Bar. In 1874, with six illustrations by Émile-Antoine Bayard, it was included in ''Doctor Ox'', the only collection of Jules Verne’s short stories published during Verne’s lifetime. An English translation by Anne T. Wilbur, published in May 1852 in "Sartain’s Union Magazine of Literature", marked the first time a work by Jules Verne was translated into the English language.
==Plot outline==
Just as the narrator starts the ascent of his balloon, a stranger jumps into its car. The unexpected passenger's only intent is to take the balloon as high as it will go, even at the cost of his and pilot's life. The intruder takes advantage of the long journey to recount the history of incidents related to the epic of lighter-than-air travel.
This short story foreshadows Verne's first novel, ''Five Weeks in a Balloon''.
