      As planned (From the Earth to the Moon), on December 1st, aboard an enormous aluminium projectile launched by a gigantic 900 feet long cannon, embark for the Moon: the solemn president of the Gun-Club of Baltimore, Impey Barbicane, the impetuous Captain Nicholl and the Frenchman Michel Ardan, a whimsical Parisian, an artist as witty as he is audacious, two dogs: Diane and Satellite and a few other "passengers" brought in surreptitiously by Michel Ardan...
      The aeronauts have survived the terrible aftermath of the departure and, with them, we travel in the balloon car, experiencing the many twists and turns of such an undertaking. But will they be able to return to Earth? Around the Moon: this novel of dizzying adventures told with astronomer's precision and marvellous verve constitutes, with From the Earth to the Moon, one of Jules Verne's most audacious anticipations.
