Runs to about 264 pages, so it's a book you'll want to pass on to a friend when you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat it's about\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerne's 1865 tale of a trip to the moon is (as you'd expect from Verne) great fun, even if bits of it now seem, in retrospect, a little strange. Our rocket ship gets shot out of a cannon? To the moon? Goodness! But in other ways it's full of eerie bits of business that turned out to be very near reality: he had the cost, when you adjust for inflation, almost exactly right. There are other similarities, too. Verne's cannon was named the Columbiad; the Apollo 11 command module was named Columbia. Apollo 11 had a three-person crew, just as Verne's did; and both blasted off from the American state of Florida. Even the return to earth happened in more-or-less the same place. Coincidence -- or fact!? We say you'll have to read this story yourself to judge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jules Verne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9789354626616\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021-03-01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20.3 x 25.4 x 4.7 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs From the Earth to the Moon \u0026amp; Round the Moon available in paperback or hardcover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the paperback edition of \u003cem\u003eFrom the Earth to the Moon \u0026amp; Round the Moon\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat language is this edition in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho wrote From the Earth to the Moon \u0026amp; Round the Moon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Earth to the Moon \u0026amp; Round the Moon is written by Jules Verne.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Bookston ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
