A Science Fiction Classic

+ From the Earth to the Moon - teacher's prespective
+ And interesting ride...

Jules Verne, the father of science fiction, made several predictions that came true in this book. The book is exciting from cover to cover. It deserves more credit than it seems to be getting. It was written over one hundred years ago. I would recommend this book to any science fiction ...

bad Verne translation reissued

This 138-page paperback is a gussied-up and flashy reprint of a very poor English-language translation of Verne's original 1904 French novel. It was first published in 1911 and the translator was anonymous. A much better English translation by Cranstoun Metcalfe (which is also in the public ...

Good Read, But Long Read

+ A beautiful new edition of an old favorite
+ Good choice

The only thing that I didn't think was that good about the book was that about every other page, Jules Verne would go into a paragraph description of ...
