Da Terra à Lua

Da Terra à Lua: O Disparo de Artilharia Definitivo A Guerra Civil Americana acabou, e o Baltimore Gun Club - uma sociedade de entusiastas de armas ociosos - está desesperadamente entediado. O presidente deles, Impey Barbicane, propõe um projeto novo aparentemente impossível e quase insano: construir um canhão gigantesco, o Columbiad, capaz de lançar um projétil até a Lua. O que começa como um experimento matemático e balístico rapidamente se transforma na maior e mais ousada aventura da história humana quando um extravagante aventureiro francês, Michel Ardan, se voluntaria para ser passageiro dentro do projétil oco. Júlio Verne entrega uma obra-prima de ficção científica profética, fundamentada matematicamente e emocionante, sobre a ambição humana, a maravilha científica e o sonho audacioso de conquistar o espaço. Escrito quase um século antes das missões Apollo, este romance explora até onde a engenhosidade humana pode chegar quando impulsionada por paixão, engenharia e um toque de loucura.

The Summer of the Seventeenth Doll

The Summer of the Seventeenth Doll and Other Stories is a collection of short fiction about memory, loss, chance, love, and the strange moments that alter lives forever. A young woman returns from a summer in France carrying a secret she cannot escape. A wartime evacuee dreams of dragons in the hills above the sea. An Englishman in Thailand prepares to leave behind the woman and the life he loves. A painter of doors offers a glimpse into another world. A holiday turns quietly unsettling. Love appears, unexpectedly, through the sound of a voice. Moving between England, France, Thailand, Burma, and imagined inner landscapes, these stories explore lives caught at points of change - sometimes tender, sometimes disturbing, always human. Written with a photographer's eye for atmosphere and detail, this collection brings together tales of longing, regret, mystery, and fragile hope.
