Description: 'De la Terre à la Lune. Trajet direct en 97 heures' (i.e. 'From the Earth to the Moon') was first published in 'Journal des Débats politiques et littéraires' from September 14th - October 14th of 1865. This is considered the fourth of Verne's 'Voyages Extraordinaires' novels.

It is the year 1865. Following the end of the American Civil War, the members of Baltimore Gun Club are restless, seeking new ways of using their genius for invention and discovery. So their president, Impey Barbicane, sets his fellows a challenge: to construct a rocket which can reach the Moon.
