Böcker av Jules Verne

"Dalla Terra alla Luna", (De la Terre à la Lune, trajet direct en 97 heures 20 minutes) è un romanzo di fantascienza del 1865. È la prima parte di un dittico che si chiude con "Intorno alla Luna". In questo romanzo Verne anticipa le prime fasi dello storico allunaggio avvenuto poi realmente il 20 luglio 1969.

A strange message in an old, mysterious manuscript leads Professor Lidenbrock, his nephew Axel and their guide Hans into going on an adventurous journey of epic proportions that involves encounters with monsters,underground sea, unimaginable dangers, prehistoric land with prehistoric creatures, and even a passage through a volcanic crater! But will they find what they are looking for? Will they ever be able to return Find out in Jules Vernes sci-fi classic A Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

Verne, the acclaimed author of immortal tales of adventure and early science fiction, can be seen here in a different light, regaling readers of all ages with a light-hearted satire that, in its warnings about the dangers of scientific experimentation, has a clear and troubling resonance with our times."

This narrative will comprehend not only all the explorations made in past ages, but also all the new discoveries which have of late years so greatly interested the scientific world. In order to give to this work-enlarged perforce by the recent labours of modern travellers,-all the accuracy possible, I have called in the aid of a man whom I with justice regard as one of the most competent geographers of the present day: M. Gabriel Marcel, attached to the Bibliothèque Nationale. With the advantage of his acquaintance with several foreign languages which are unknown to me, we have been able to go to the fountain-head, and to derive all information from absolutely original documents. Our readers will, therefore, render to M. Marcel the credit due to him for his share in a work which will demonstrate what manner of men the great travellers have been, from the time of Hanno and Herodotus down to that of Livingstone and Stanley.
