One of the great early works of science fiction, From the Earth to the Moon tells the incredible fictional story of a nineteenth century project to construct an enormous gun in Florida that would fire a manned projectile to the moon. Despite the minimal data available at the time it was written, some of Jules Verne's calculations for the story were remarkably accurate. The manned projectile is considered one of the earliest fictional spaceships to have been at the heart of a science fiction novel. Just as gripping today as it would have been when published all those years ago, the tale remains a sci-fi classic and is still widely read around the world. This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and includes the sequel 'And Round the Moon'. It's beautifully illustrated with a number of delightful sketches that accompanied early editions of the novel.
