Description

From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon, a visionary tale of space flight, was a groundbreaking novel by Jules Verne, a master of extraordinary voyages. Published in 2011, this edition is a UK publication.

Verne's story turned an ancient fantasy into a believable technological possibility, inspiring readers to look to the industrial future for their dreams of adventure. The novel's success led directly to the development of modern science fiction. However, Verne's vision was not without its limitations, and he relied on the science of his time to construct a literary conjuring trick.

Read the book to discover how Verne's tale of space travel was both a product of its time and a remarkable achievement in the imagination. This edition offers a fascinating insight into the author's vision and the development of science fiction as a genre.
