Jules Verne ~5 hr read

The Baltimore Gun Club builds a giant cannon to fire men at the Moon, Verne's founding space-shot, in Dutch.

This Dutch edition of Jules Verne's 1865 'From the Earth to the Moon' delivers the witty, science-minded classic in which peacetime artillerymen turn their genius skyward. A cornerstone of the space story. Read it for the foundational lunar cannon-shot that helped invent SF's dream of leaving Earth.
