內容簡介
Written almost a century before the daring flights of the astronauts, Jules Verne’s prophetic novel of man’s race to the stars is a classic adventure tale enlivened by broad satire and scientific acumen.
When the members of the elite Baltimore Gun Club find themselves lacking any urgent assignments at the close of the Civil War, their president, Impey Barbicane, proposes that they build a gun big enough to launch a rocket to the moon. But when Barbicane’s adversary places a huge wager that the project will fail and a daring volunteer elevates the mission to a “manned” flight, one man’s dream turns into an international space race.
A story of rip-roaring action, humor, and wild imagination,
From the Earth to the Moon is as uncanny in its accuracy and as filled with authentic detail and startling immediacy as Verne’s timeless masterpieces
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and
Around the World in Eighty Days.
作者簡介
Jules Verne was born into a family with seafaring tradition in Nantes, France, in 1828. At an early age he tried to run off and ship out as a cabin boy but was stopped and returned to his family. Verne was sent to Paris to study law, but once there, he quickly fell in love with the theater. He was soon writing plays and opera librettos, and his first play was produced in 1850. When he refused his father’s entreaties to return to Nantes and practice law, his allowance was cut off, and he was forced to make his living by selling stories and articles.
Verne combined his gift for exotic narratives with an interest the latest scientific discoveries. He spent long hours in the Paris libraries studying geology, astronomy, and engineering. Soon he was turning out imaginative stories such as
Five Weeks in a Balloon (1863) and
Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), which were immensely popular all over the world. After
From the Earth to the Moon (1865), Verne received letter from travelers wishing to sign up for the next lunar expedition. His ability to envision the next stage in man’s technology progress and his childlike wonder at the possibilities produced
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1870) and
Michael Strogoff (1876). His biggest success came with
Around the World in Eighty Days (1872).
Verne’s books made him famous and rich. In 1876 he bought a large steam yacht, outfitted with a cabin in which he could write more comfortably than on shore. He sailed from one European port to another and was lionized everywhere he went. His books were widely translated, dramatized, and later filmed. He died at Aminens in 1905.,,,

昨天看瞭一篇關於國外快遞的推送 看完就對上次“抱怨京東快遞員讓我下樓取貨”這事兒倍感內疚 覺得自己真是個矯情逼 覺得中國的快遞員應該得到我們的珍惜嗬護而不是責備 結果今天快遞大哥直接幫我把東西搬進傢裏 我竟無語凝噎 可惜我不能奬勵給他一朵大紅花 但我覺得他是值得老闆加薪的好小夥兒 汪汪眼兒
