Ein Drama in den Lüften

by Jules Verne

Overview

Der französische Ich-Erzähler wartet auf dem damaligen Theaterplatz (heutiger Rathenauplatz) von Frankfurt am Main vergeblich auf drei Stadtverordnete, die an seiner Ballonfahrt teilnehmen wollten. Aufgrund der enttäuschten Zuschauer, die dem Start entgegenfiebern, beschließt der Ballonpilot den Aufstieg allein durchzuführen. Im Moment des Ballonstartes springt ein Fremder zu ihm in die Gondel. Der Blinde Passagier zwingt den Ballonfahrer immer höher zu steigen und erzählt diesem anhand einer Reihe von Kupferstichen von der verlustreichen Geschichte der Luftfahrt.
