About this ebook
The Moon-Voyage: Illustrated by Jules Verne. Includes the original colour illustrations (1st) by Henri de Montaut (1868) and (2nd) by Émile-Antoine Bayard and Alphonse de Neuville (1868-69). This work contains two titles: "From Earth to the Moon" and the sequel "Round the Moon". It tells the story of the Baltimore Gun Club, a post-American Civil War society of weapons aficionados, and their attempts to build an enormous sky-facing 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. Notable for the attempted to do some calculations and requirements for the cannon. The Moon-Voyage is an amazing work of science-fiction by Jules Verne. The author has picturesquely depicted the efforts of the three astronomers of the American Gun club. Their goal of landing on the moon seemed far-fetched and the mockery of those around them fuelled their ambition. Truly astounding!
