The Moon-Voyage (Esprios Classics)

The Moon-Voyage is an 1865 novel by Jules Verne. 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. This book contains both FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON and ROUND THE MOON.
