From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne audiobook. Genre: science In 1860s America, the Civil War has ended and the Baltimore Gun Club is bored - until its brilliant, larger-than-life president Impey Barbicane proposes an outrageous new project: instead of building weapons, why not build a cannon big enough to send a projectile to the Moon? The idea electrifies the public, attracts funding from around the world, and ignites a race to solve problems no one has faced before: impossible measurements, unprecedented metallurgy, and the perilous mathematics of launch. As plans take shape in Florida, the venture gains a fierce rival in the sharp-tongued French artilleryman Captain Nicholl, whose technical objections and pride clash with Barbicane's bold optimism. Then a surprise volunteer enters the story, shifting the mission from a mere feat of engineering into a human gamble. Part satire, part scientific speculation, and wholly adventurous, Jules Verne blends meticulous detail with playful wit as his characters argue, calculate, and risk everything for a dream that seems a century ahead of its time - and discover that the greatest journey may begin long before anyone leaves the ground.
