About The Book: "From the Earth to the Moon" (1865) by Jules Verne follows the Baltimore Gun Club's quest to build a colossal space gun, aiming to launch a projectile to the Moon. The story intensifies when French adventurer Michel Ardan proposes traveling to the Moon aboard the projectile. The novel explores the challenges of the Moon-bound mission, incorporating accurate scientific calculations for the time. With the successful launch, Verne sets the stage for the sequel, "Around the Moon," delving into the astronauts' experiences during their interplanetary voyage. About The Author: Jules Verne (1828–1905), a French novelist, poet, and playwright, collaborated with publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel to create the Voyages extraordinaires series. Notable for well-documented adventures set in the late 19th century, his bestselling works include "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (1864), "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas" (1870), and "Around the World in Eighty Days" (1872). Despite once being labeled a genre or children's author in the Anglosphere, Verne is now regarded as a significant figure in literary avant-garde and surrealism.
