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.
