Learn more"From the Earth to the Moon" is a science fiction adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, published in 1865.
It tells the story of the Baltimore Gun Club, a post-American Civil War society of weapons enthusiasts, and their attempts to build an enormous Columbiad space gun and launch three people — the Gun Club's president, his Philadelphian armor-making rival, and a French poet — in a projectile with the goal of a Moon landing.
Five years later, Verne wrote a sequel called Around the Moon.
Jules Verne (1828–1905) was a French writer. He was one of the first authors to write science fiction. The action of J. Verne's novels, always very well designed, usually takes place in the second half of the 19th century. They are exceptionally adventurous - "Captain Grant's Children" (1868), "Around the World in Eighty Days" (1873), "The Fifteen-Year-Old Captain" (1878), etc., and science fiction - "From Earth to The Moon" (1865), "Twenty thousand leagues under the water" (1870), "Robur the Conqueror" (1886), etc. In addition to novels, he created many plays, short stories, autobiographical stories, poems, songs; scientific, artistic and literary works.
