Off on a Comet
Jules Verne
Book Overview:
The story starts with a comet that touches the Earth in its flight and collects a few small chunks of it. Some forty people of various nations and ages are condemned to a two-year-long journey on the comet. They form a mini-society and cope with the hostile environment of the comet (mostly the cold). The size of the 'comet' is about 2300 kilometers in diameter - far larger than any comet or asteroid that actually exists.

CHAPTER XI. AN ISLAND TOMB
No longer, then, could there be any doubt as to the annihilation of a considerable portion of the colony. Not merely had there been a submersion of the land, but the impression was more and more confirmed that the very bowels of the earth must have yawned and closed again upon a large territory. Of the rocky substratum of the province it became more evident than ever that not a trace remained,. . . Read More

What kid of my generation didn't want to be an astronaut when he or she grew up?

Una bella storia di fantascienza ottocentesca, chiaramente a leggerla ora balzano agli occhi diverse cose impossibili anche solo da concepire e parecchie semplificazioni eccessive, ma il secolo e mezzo trascorso dalla scrittura di questo libro spiega abbondantemente queste cose.

A comet grazes the earth, and a group of people get swept up onto the comet and live on it as it speeds its way through the solar system.
One of Verne's lesser novels, and it is easy to see why it is so. There is just not a lot of action in it like one gets in 20,000 Leagues, Mysterious Island, or J
