Jules Verne

1865

In the wake of the American Civil War, a fellowship of idle artillerymen seeks purpose in the most audacious scheme imaginable: firing a shell containing three men directly to the moon. Led by the formidable Impey Barbicane, the Baltimore Gun Club embarks on an enterprise that blends military precision with wild ambition, calculating trajectories and constructing a cannon of unprecedented scale. What follows is both a nail-biting adventure and a meditation on human hubris, as the travelers confront the void between worlds and discover that the universe cares nothing for man's grand designs. Written in 1865, a full century before Apollo 11, Verne's masterpiece pulses with the reckless optimism of an age that believed nothing was impossible. His technical specifications read like prophecy. His faith in scientific method feels almost touching in its earnestness. The novel endures because it captures something eternal: the species' irresistible pull toward the unknown, and the glorious absurdity of trying to get there by cannon.

“Vete al comedor, da una vuelta alrededor de la mesa mirado siempre su centro, y cuando hayas concluido el paseo circular, habrás dado una vuelta alrededor de ti mismo, puesto que la vista habrá recorrido todos los puntos del comedor. Pues bien, el comedor es el Cielo, la mesa es la Tierra y tú eres la Luna.””
