We are in 1865. On the first of December, at eleven minutes to thirteen minutes, not a second before or after, that immense projectile must be launched ... Three original and picturesque characters will travel inside it, the first three men heading to the Moon . It is a fabulous project that has aroused the interest of the whole world. But it is not an easy task to have everything ready by that date ... However, if this is not achieved, we will have to wait eighteen years and eleven days for the Moon to be in the same conditions of proximity to the Earth. Jules Verne engages the reader vividly in all the preparations for this truly exciting adventure.
