Translated by Edward Roth. This translation begins: (Part One) To the Sun? ""Captain, it does not suit me to surrender." "I regret it extremely, my dear Count; for my own cause is exactly similar." "Your are in earnest?" "Never more in earnest in all my life."" (Part Two): Off on a Comet! ""Gallia's my comet—mine!"" The Roth translation of ''Hector Servadac'' was originally published in two volumes and is sometimes catalogued or issued as an omnibus of two novels.
