Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

A prophetic work where Verne's astounding imagination is presented. In the absence of any adventurous work at the end of Civil War, the President of Gun Club decides to send a projectile to the moon. The decision escalates world-wide excitement and wagers. The steps and procedures and ultimately the final outcome of the plan have been beautifully captured.

Biografía del autor:

Jules Verne studied law but began writing stories and working in theatre as well. When Verne's father discovered his son was writing, he promptly withdrew his financial support. Verne then worked as a stockbroker.His wife encouraged him to pursue his writing, and he became acquainted with Pierre-Jules Hetzel, an important French publisher. Hetzel helped improve Verne's writings, which until then had been repeatedly rejected by other publishers. He died a wealthy man in 1905.
