Summary: "De la terre à la lune, trajet direct en 97 heures 20 minutes" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is centered around the ambitious members of the Baltimore Gun Club as they embark on a daring plan to launch a projectile to the moon following the American Civil War. The novel combines elements of science fiction and adventure, offering a speculative yet captivating exploration of space travel and human ingenuity. The opening portion introduces readers to the Gun Club, formed in Baltimore amid the aftermath of the Civil War, as members express their frustration over the absence of war and the consequent lack of invention and excitement. The protagonist, Impey Barbicane, proposes a radical new project: launching a cannonball to the moon, igniting a passionate response among the members. This proposal leads to widespread excitement and curiosity, setting the stage for a tale that intertwines rigorous scientific calculations and the thrill of exploration as Barbicane and his fellow inventors prepare to make history in their quest to reach the lunar surface.
