Description:

The single most important work of fiction in the history of astronautics...in fact, it can be argued that Jules Verne literally invented the science of astronautics in this seminal novel. Originally published in 1865, it inspired and influenced every important figure in the history of modern space flight, from Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and Hermann Oberth to Wernher von Braun and Robert Goddard. In addition to its prescience, it is a biting and often excrutiatingly funny satire of America and Americans. This edition is a brand-new translation of both From the Earth to the Moon and its sequel, Round the Moon. It contains all of the illustrations from the original French editions as well as special appendices.

This one is an obvious five star rating. I have read books of Jules Vern in three languages and I think this translation is excellent.
I believe I don't have to comment anything about the book itself.
