Embark on the legendary voyage that ignited humanity's dream of space travel—over a century before it became reality.

Jules Verne, the undisputed "Father of Science Fiction," invites you on the ultimate adventure with this captivating omnibus edition containing two of his most celebrated novels: From the Earth to the Moon and its thrilling sequel, Round the Moon.

After the Civil War, the members of the elite Baltimore Gun Club find themselves bored and longing for a new project. Their ambitious president, Impey Barbicane, proposes a feat so audacious it seems impossible: to build a cannon massive enough to shoot a projectile to the Moon. Alongside a cast of unforgettable characters, including the adventurous Michel Ardan and the rival Captain Nicholl, you'll follow the meticulous, fascinating preparations for this incredible journey. From the groundbreaking calculations to the international spectacle of the launch, Verne blends meticulous scientific speculation with thrilling narrative and witty social commentary.

The adventure continues in Round the Moon, as the three pioneers find themselves locked inside the projectile-carriage for a perilous journey through the void. Experience their wonder at the splendors of space, the terror of unforeseen catastrophes, and the breathtaking view of the lunar landscape. Verne's visionary imagination soars as he describes weightlessness, the cold of space, and the gravitational pull of celestial bodies with an accuracy that is nothing short of prophetic.
