Aventures extraordinaires d'un savant russe; I. La lune by Georges Le Faure & H. de Graffigny
A sweeping astronomical romance carries a Russian savant to the Moon, volume one of a grand tour of the solar system, blessed by Flammarion himself.
Le Faure and de Graffigny's 1889 'Extraordinary Adventures of a Russian Scientist,' dedicated to and prefaced by the astronomer Camille Flammarion, launches a lavishly illustrated Verne-inspired epic of interplanetary travel grounded in real 19th-century astronomy. This first volume reaches the Moon. Read it for a magnificent, science-steeped French space adventure of the Verne tradition.
