Book Description |
| In From the Earth to the Moon and its sequel Round the Moon, Jules Verne takes readers on a thrilling, imaginative journey into space long before the advent of modern space travel. The first novel follows the members of the Baltimore Gun Club, who, after the American Civil War, decide to launch a manned projectile to the Moon. In the sequel, Round the Moon, the story picks up as the three astronauts aboard the cannonball-like spacecraft face a series of dramatic challenges while orbiting the Moon, including the vast emptiness of space and their uncertain fate. With Verne’s prescient vision of space exploration, these novels blend adventure, science fiction, and speculative technology. |
