Round The Moon is a science fiction novel written by Jules Verne, first published in 1870. The story continues from where Verne's previous novel, From The Earth To The Moon, left off. The novel follows the journey of three men - Barbicane, Nicholl, and Michel - who are on a mission to travel to the moon. The trio is launched into space in a projectile fired from a giant cannon, and they soon find themselves hurtling towards the moon.As they approach the moon, the travelers encounter various challenges and obstacles, including the moon's gravitational pull and the lack of air and water on the lunar surface. They also encounter strange creatures and landscapes, including a vast underground network of caves and tunnels. Throughout their journey, the three men demonstrate their resourcefulness and ingenuity, using their knowledge of science and engineering to overcome the challenges they face.Along the way, Verne explores themes such as the limits of human knowledge and the power of human ingenuity. The novel also includes detailed descriptions of the science and technology behind the mission, making it a fascinating read for fans of science fiction and space exploration.Overall, Round The Moon is a thrilling adventure story that showcases Verne's vivid imagination and his deep understanding of science and technology. It is a must-read for anyone interested in science fiction, space exploration, or the works of Jules Verne.What had happened? What effect had this frightful shock produced? Had the ingenuity of the constructors of the projectile obtained any happy result? Had the shock been deadened, thanks to the springs, the four plugs, the water-cushions, and the partition-breaks?--Follows From the Earth to the Moon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
