1874 Jules Verne From the Earth to the Moon Astronauts SciFi American Gun Club

 

Jules Verne’s adventure novels are some of the most popular and famous works of literature of all time. Part of the illustrious ‘Voyages Extraordinares’ series, his book ‘From the Earth to the Moon’ is one of the most influential works of science-fiction of the 19^th-century. It tells the story of American weapon makers attempting to build an enormous space gun big enough to launch people onto the moon! According to Barron, this book is

“the first interplanetary novel to focus on the technical and organizational preparations for the voyage, using the actual blast-off as a climax… one of the definitive foundation stones of the science fiction genre.”

 

This 1874 American edition was published by Scribner and is published under the title ‘The American Gun Club’. It was translated out of the original French by Louis Mercier and Eleanor King.
