From the Earth to the Moon

Front Cover
Sutton Publishing, 1995 - Fiction - 128 pages
Jules Verne first sent his travellers off to conquer the Moon 130 years ago, but he was uncannily accurate in this visionary tale: man's first actual flight took exactly the same time as that fictional voyage, and many of the technical problems raised by Verne had parallels in actual space exploration.

About the author (1995)

Jules Verne was born on February 8, 1828 in Nantes, France. He wrote for the theater and worked briefly as a stockbroker. He is considered by many to be the father of science fiction. His most popular novels included Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days. Several of his works have been adapted into movies and TV mini-series. In 1892, he was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in France. He died on March 24, 1905 at the age of 77.
