Summary

Written almost 100 years before America's space program was launched, Verne's eerily prophetic adventure classic was a forerunner of today's science fiction. As the Civil War comes to an end, three men from the elite Baltimore Gun Club embark on a daring trip to the moon with often humorous results. Seventeen illustrations from the original French edition are included.

Author Biography

"The reason Verne is still read by millions today is simply that he was one of the best storytellers who ever lived." — Arthur C. Clarke. Jules Verne started out composing librettos, but the French-born author's passion for travel and exploration compelled him to turn to adventure tales, creating the prototype for today's science fiction. One of the most translated authors in the world, Jules Verne is best known for his classics, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days.
