De la Terre à la Lune (French Edition)

A bold dream. An impossible cannon. Humanity’s first voyage to the Moon.

In De la Terre à la Lune (From the Earth to the Moon), Jules Verne delivers one of his most visionary and entertaining adventures. After the American Civil War, the members of the Baltimore Gun Club—restless artillery enthusiasts—conceive an audacious project: to build a colossal cannon and launch a manned projectile directly to the Moon. Led by the determined President Barbicane, joined by the flamboyant Frenchman Michel Ardan and the skeptical Captain Nicholl, the enterprise becomes a monumental feat of engineering, national pride, and scientific ambition, culminating in a dramatic launch that captivates the world.
