«Autour de la lune» is Jules Verne's science fiction novel, published by Editions Chaaraoui in paperback (143 pages, in French).
Direct sequel to «De la Tierra a la Luna»: Barbicane, Captain Nicholl and Michel Ardan travel inside the projectile fired by the Columbiad cannon from Florida, intending to orbit the Moon. During the journey, the three explorers gaze at space and comment on what they see, while the Cambridge Observatory calculates the projectile's course. The novel combines the science of the period with adventure, and is regarded as prophetic for its parallels with later space missions.
Originally published in 1869, it is the second part of the Baltimore Gun Club series, after «De la Tierra a la Luna».
For fans of early science fiction and Jules Verne's adventure novels.
Jules Gabriel Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright.
