About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of From the Earth to the Moon, by Jules Verne. Read in English by Librivox volunteers. From the Earth to the Moon (French: De la Terre à la Lune) is a humorous science fantasy story written in 1865 by Jules Verne and is one of the earliest entries in that genre. It tells the story of three well-to-do members of a post-American Civil War gun club who build an enormous sky-facing columbiad and ride a spaceship fired from it to the moon.
