Sinopse
Qui resume la premiere partie de cet ouvrage, pour servir de preface a la seconde Pendant le cours de l'annee 186., le monde entier fut singulierement emu par une tentative scientifique sans precedents dans les annales de la science. Les membres du Gun-Club, cercle d'artilleurs fonde a Baltimore apres la guerre d'Amerique, avaient eu l'idee de se mettre en communication avec la Lune - oui, avec la Lune -, en lui envoyant un boulet. Leur president Barbicane, le promoteur de l'entreprise, ayant consulte a ce sujet les astronomes de l'Observatoire de Cambridge, prit toutes les mesures necessaires au succes de cette extraordinaire entreprise, declaree realisable par la majorite des gens competents. Apres avoir provoque une souscription publique qui produisit pres de trente millions de francs, il commenca ses gigantesques travaux. Suivant la note redigee par les membres de l'Observatoire, le canon destine a lancer le projectile devait etre etabli dans un pays situe entre 0 et 28 degres de latitude nord ou sud, afin de viser la Lune au zenith. Le boulet devait etre anime d'une vitesse initiale de douze mille yards a la seconde. Lance le 1er decembre, a onze heures moins treize minutes et vingt secondes du soir, il devait rencontrer la Lune quatre jours apres son depart, le 5 decembre, a minuit precis, a l'instant meme ou elle se trouverait dans son perigee, c'est-a-dire a sa distance la plus rapprochee de la Terre, soit exactement quatre-vingt-six mille quatre cent dix lieues.

I am the daughter of Pioneer Books, our business has closed down after 43 years and I am listing some of it on my own account now that I'm the proud owner of the residual stock! I am selling them at half the price at which they were listed when Pioneer Books existed.
