Synopsis
Written almost a century before the daring flights of the astronauts, Jules Verne’s prophetic novel of man’s race to the stars is a classic adventure tale enlivened by broad satire and scientific acumen. <br><br>When the members of the elite Baltimore Gun Club find themselves lacking any urgent assignments at the close of the Civil War, their president, Impey Barbicane, proposes that they build a gun big enough to launch a rocket to the moon. But when Barbicane’s adversary places a huge wager that the project will fail and a daring volunteer elevates the mission to a “manned” flight, one man’s dream turns into an international space race. <br><br>A story of rip-roaring action, humor, and wild imagination, <b>From the Earth to the Moon</b> is as uncanny in its accuracy and as filled with authentic detail and startling immediacy as Verne’s timeless masterpieces <b>20,000 Leagues Under the Sea </b>and <b>Around the World in Eighty Days. </b><i><br><br></i><br><br><br><i>From the Paperback edition.</i>
