Description:

In the wake of the American Civil War, the Baltimore Gun Club faces a 'disastrous peace'—until President Impey Barbicane proposes a monumental project: a 900-foot cannon designed to launch a projectile straight to the moon. 'From the Earth to the Moon' is a foundational masterpiece of Science Fiction and Action & Adventure. Follow the technical genius of Barbicane, the skepticism of Captain Nicholl, and the flamboyant bravery of Michel Ardan as they board a claustrophobic aluminum vessel. This isn't just a voyage; it's a high-stakes gamble against ballistics, atmospheric friction, and the crushing weight of the unknown. Experience the Horror of a silent, airless void and the chilling encounter with a rogue meteorite that threatens to veer the pioneers into eternal darkness. As they orbit the lunar surface, glimpsing the 'invisible hemisphere' where Alien Contact remains a haunting theory, the line between scientific triumph and a tomb in the stars thins. If you are a fan of H.G. Wells’ 'The War of the Worlds' or the hard-science precision of Arthur C. Clarke, you will love Jules Verne’s 'From the Earth to the Moon'. This definitive volume stands among the greatest Classics in Collections & Anthologies, capturing the 19th-century 'can-do' energy that birthed the space age. Step inside the Columbiad and witness the birth of interplanetary exploration. Grab your copy today and join the pioneers on their journey to the infinite. Duration - 9h 58m. Author - Verne, Jules.
