Hector Servadac, voyages et aventures à travers le monde solaire

The comet Gallia, approaching very closely to the Earth, pulls off a chunk of North Africa. Captain Hector Servadac and an assortment of others survive in the comet for a period of time, and are later dropped, intact, back onto North Africa.
