Following the American Civil War, Impey Barbicane, president of the Gun-Club, proposes building a giant cannon to send a projectile to the Moon. Together with secretary J. T. Maston, and after receiving information from the Cambridge Observatory, they must resolve issues such as the characteristics of the cannon, the size of the projectile, the amount of gunpowder, and the location of the launch. Captain Nicholl, Barbicane's enemy, questions the feasibility of the project, generating bets on the success of the projectile. This edition features illustrations by Agustín Comotto and translation by Mauro Armiño.
Jules Gabriel Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright.
