Off on a Comet Book 1 Chapter 2
from The Jules Verne Library · host Jules Verne
In which we are introduced to the gallant Captain Hector Servadac, a young and brave officer of modest means stationed in Algeria, whose character is marked by generosity, courage, and a thirst for glory, alongside his devoted and stolidly loyal orderly, Ben Zoof, whose heart remains anchored in the heights of Montmartre. Their companionship is coloured by contrasting dispositions, with Servadac’s poetic leanings balancing Ben Zoof’s more practical, yet affectionate reminiscences of his beloved Parisian home.
