The cannons have fallen silent, the battles a fading memory. But for the Baltimore Gun Club, a new war is waged – against the very heavens. President Barbicane, a man of iron will and wilder ideas, proposes the unthinkable: a projectile, hurled by a monstrous cannon, carrying men to the Moon itself. Join a daring engineer, a stoic rival, and a flamboyant French adventurer as they defy gravity, doubt, and the scoffs of the world in a bid to become the first to pierce the lunar veil. Will they reach the Moon, or be lost forever amongst the stars? Embark on a thrilling voyage in Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon."

Jules Verne

Jules Gabriel Verne was born in the seaport of Nantes, France, in 1828 and was destined to follow his father into the legal profession. In Paris to train for the bar, he took more readily to literary life, befriending Alexander Dumas and Victor Hugo, and living by theatre managing and libretto-writing. His first science-based novel, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was issued by the influential publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel in 1862, and made him famous. Verne and Hetzel collaborated to write dozens more such adventures, including 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in 1869 and Around the World in 80 Days in 1872. In later life Verne entered local politics at Amiens, where had had a home. He also kept a house in Paris, in the street now named Boulevard Jules Verne, and a beloved yacht, the Saint Michel, named after his son. He died in 1905.
