From the earth to the moon
(Book)

"This Dover edition, first published in 2019, is an unabridged republication of the Edward Roth translation, originally titled The Baltimore Gun Club, which appeared in various printings between 1874-1900. The illustrations first appeared in the original French version."

"Nearly a century before NASA, a visionary novelist wrote this adventure classic about an international space race. Jules Verne's prophetic fantasy unfolds at the close of the Civil War, as three artillerymen resolve to build a gun big enough to propel a manned rocket to the moon. This edition features an excellent translation by Verne's foremost interpreter, Edward Roth, and 17 illustrations from the original publication"--,Provided by publisher.
