From the Earth to the Moon
Jules Verne
The original space-travel epic of science fiction,
From the Earth to the Moon and its sequel, A Trip
Around It, are here reproduced in attractive and compact
format. Jules Verne's pioneering works in science fiction
have an importance exceeding even those of H. G. Wells and
other early practitioners of the art, and From the Earth
to the Moon is a large part of that importance. While
the science is largely dated, moderns readers can still
thrill over the daring exploits of the Gun Club and its
audacious plan to build a cannon which can launch a
projectile containing human passengers all the way to the
moon. Richly illustrated with drawings from the 1116
edition published by Charles Scribner's Sons, this is a book
which should not be missed. 263 pp., index of
illustrations, English.
