Summary

De la Terre à la Lune est un roman d'anticipation de Jules Verne, paru en 1865. Il relate comment, après la fin de la guerre de Sécession, une association d'artilleurs et de scientifiques liés à l'industrie militaire tente d'envoyer sur la Lune un obus habité par trois hommes. De la Terre à la Lune forme la première partie d'un diptyque, qui se clôt avec Autour de la Lune, paru quatre ans plus tard. Plusieurs personnages de ces romans sont remis en scène dans Sans dessus dessous, publié vingt ans plus tard, sans grand succès, puis redécouvert en 1975.
