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.

Comfortable and Slick
Color: Grey, Size: X-Large
The track suit has been my tai chi workout go to. The fabric is light and non constrictive so I can move effortlessly. The material is soft and feels nice. Does not get too wrinkly when folded. The color is nice. Top fits nicely, true to size (6’ and 190 lbs). The bottoms are a bit baggy though but my bum is flat, so can complain. I think next time I would purchase separate pieces and go with XL top and L bottom. Perhaps mix the colors too so I don’t look like an orderly on break! I will caution on wearing this type of material over spandex or slippery underwear. I was walking my three large dogs and they got tangled and the leash snagged and pulled down my pants exposing my underwear to the world. Luckily, I had clean undies with no rips, although no one was around the trail we were on! This is my first Coofandy purchase and I would definitely purchase again.
