Members of the Baltimore Gun Club decide to launch a projectile to the moon from a giant cannon in Florida. Lu Xun's 1903 free translation of Jules Verne turns the adventure into an introduction to science for Chinese readers. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
