All Around the Moon
A daring return from the Moon. Peril in space. The triumph of human courage.
In Jules Verne’s gripping sequel to From the Earth to the Moon, the brave adventurers—Impey Barbicane, Captain Nicholl, and Michel Ardan—find themselves hurtling through space inside the Columbiad projectile after being launched toward the Moon. As they circle the lunar surface, they witness its desolate beauty and strange wonders up close, while facing life-threatening dangers: oxygen shortages, extreme temperatures, and the risk of being lost forever in the void of space. With ingenuity, scientific knowledge, and unbreakable camaraderie, the trio must solve critical problems to ensure their safe return to Earth.
Blending scientific speculation, high-stakes adventure, and Verne’s signature wit and optimism, All Around the Moon delivers an exhilarating journey filled with astronomical marvels, narrow escapes, and profound reflections on humanity’s place in the universe. It remains a landmark of early science fiction and space literature.

Jules Verne (1828–1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright, widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of modern science fiction. His extraordinary visions of submarines, space travel, airplanes, and other futuristic technologies in works such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in Eighty Days, and Journey to the Center of the Earth have inspired generations of scientists, explorers, and writers. Verne’s imaginative storytelling, combined with scientific curiosity, continues to captivate readers more than a century after his death.
