Facing the Flag
In another science-based entry in his Voyages Extraordinaires series, Verne takes us on the journey of Simon Hart, an engineer who poses as a medical attendant to the scientist Thomas Roch. Roch's invention of a world-conquering weapon has driven him insane. As the paranoid doctor rests in a sanatorium, the vicious pirate Ker Karraje kidnaps both Roch and Hart. Karraje takes them to a secret hideaway in a burned-out island caldera in the Bermudas-but Hart hatches an ingenious escape plan.

Da Terra à Lua
"Da Terra à Lua" é uma obra de ficção científica escrita por Jules Verne, que narra a audaciosa tentativa do Gun-Club, uma sociedade de artilheiros americanos, de enviar um projétil à Lua. Após o fim da Guerra Civil Americana, os membros do clube, liderados por Impey Barbicane, buscam um novo desafio que possa utilizar suas habilidades em balística. Barbicane propõe a construção de um canhão gigantesco capaz de lançar um projétil até a Lua, um empreendimento que rapidamente ganha apoio popular e científico. A narrativa detalha os cálculos e preparativos necessários para a realização do projeto, incluindo a escolha do local de lançamento e o momento exato para disparar o projétil, de modo a garantir que ele atinja seu alvo lunar. A obra explora temas como o progresso científico, a ambição humana e a capacidade de superação de desafios aparentemente impossíveis. Verne combina elementos de ciência real com especulação imaginativa, criando uma história que cativa pela sua visão futurista e pela precisão dos detalhes técnicos. A resposta do Observatório de Cambridge, que valida a possibilidade teórica do projeto, reforça o entusiasmo e a determinação dos personagens em alcançar seu objetivo. "Da Terra à Lua" é um testemunho do otimismo do século XIX em relação ao poder da ciência e da tecnologia para expandir os limites do conhecimento humano.
