What this book is about
Jules Verne's adventure SF classic follows the members of the Baltimore Gun Club, who have run out of wars to supply, as they calculate that it is theoretically possible to fire a projectile to the moon — and then decide three men should be inside. Verne writes with his characteristic technical detail and broad comedy; the 19th-century science is charming in its earnestness. A foundational SF classic appropriate for all ages.
