520    From the Earth to the Moon is a humorous science fiction 
       novel written by the French writer Jules Verne and is one 
       of the earliest entries in that genre. It tells the story 
       of three well-to-do members of a post-American Civil War 
       gun club who build an enormous sky-facing canon and ride a
       spaceship fired from it to the moon. Jules Verne takes aim
       at some amusing stereotypes of Americans in this story of 
       a pre-rocketry attempt to shoot a cannonball to the Moon. 
       Those Yankees don’t do anything by halves!  His means is a
       Columbiad cannon so enormous that it must be bored 900 
       feet into the ground, so immense that 1200 smelting 
       furnaces would be needed to create the iron for its 
       casting, so stupendous that 100 tons of guncotton would be
       needed to loft its cannonball heavenwards. The journey 
       must be watched from the tallest peak of the Rocky 
       Mountains through a new telescope with a reflector 
       measuring 16 feet in diameter and a tube reaching skyward 
       280 feet. And then - a simple telegram upsets all the 
       preparations. An unknown Frenchman has taken ship and is 
       on the way. And he has firmly decided that he will ride 
       inside the projectile! From the Earth to the 
       Moon was first published in 1868. Translated by Louis 
       Mercier. Audiobook read by Mark F. Smith, running 
       time 4 hours, 55 min. Unabridged full version.  Jules 
       Verne (1828 – 1905) was a French writer who pioneered the 
       science fiction genre. Many of his novels involve elements
       of technology that were fantastic for the day but later 
       became commonplace. Verne is the second most translated 
       author in the world (following Agatha Christie), and his 
       works appear in more translations per year than those of 
       any other writer. Verne is one writer sometimes called 
       "The Father of Science Fiction".   [Elib]
