From the Earth to the Moon »

A legendary French author and pioneer of the science fiction genre, Jules Verne wrote visionary tales of space, air, and underwater adventure in classics like Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1869) and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).

Written a century before the Apollo flights, Verne's eerily prophetic classic recounts the tale of a lunar excursion by three Civil War vets — with often-humorous results! Includes 17 illustrations.
