Sequel to Verne's 1865 novel, From the Earth to the Moon, it continues the trip to the Moon which was only partially described in the first novel. It was later combined with From the Earth to the Moon to create A Trip to the Moon and Around It.
Born on February 8, 1828, Jules Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. He is often referred to as the 'Father of science fiction', because he wrote about space, air and underwater travel before the airplanes, space-crafts and submarines were invented. He is best known for his novels ‘A Journey to the Centre of the Earth’, ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’, ‘The Mysterious Island’ and ‘Around the World in Eighty Days’. He has been the second most-translated author in the world since 1979, ranking between Agatha Christie and William Shakespeare.
