Description:

For the very first time Jules Verne's three novels about the adventures of the fabulous Baltimore Gun Club are together in a single volume. In From the Earth to the Moon the club sends a manned projectile into the depths of space by means of a giant cannon. In Around the Moon, we discover how they manage to return to Earth. And in The Purchase of the North Pole, the Gun Club engages in a mad scheme to tilt the very axis of the Earth itself. From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon are brand-new original translations. The Purchase of the North Pole is a meticulously restored version of the original 19th century English translation, with errors corrected and missing text replaced. All of the novels are accompanied by their original illustrations and an informative appendix.
