       From the Earth to the Moon
       Jules Verne
       
       The original space-travel epic of science fiction,
       From the Earth to the Moon and its sequel, A Trip
       Around It, are here reproduced in attractive and compact
       format.  Jules Verne's pioneering works in science fiction
       have an importance exceeding even those of H. G. Wells and
       other early practitioners of the art, and From the Earth
       to the Moon is a large part of that importance.  While
       the science is largely dated, moderns readers can still
       thrill over the daring exploits of the Gun Club and its
       audacious plan to build a cannon which can launch a
       projectile containing human passengers all the way to the
       moon.  Richly illustrated with drawings from the 1116
       edition published by Charles Scribner's Sons, this is a book
       which should not be missed.  263 pp., index of
       illustrations, English.
