| Summary |
"Utazás a Holdba kilenczvenhét óra és husz percz alatt" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the ambitious idea of launching a projectile to the Moon, driven by a group of engineers and inventors who are part of the Gun Club in Baltimore. The main character, Impey Barbicane, proposes a project to catapult a cannonball to the Moon, igniting excitement and ambition among the members of the club and the general public. The opening of the novel introduces the Gun Club, a group of artillery enthusiasts who are suffering from the boredom of peace after fierce battles in the American Civil War. As they yearn for action, Barbicane raises an outrageous idea of creating an enormous cannon to send a projectile to the Moon. This idea captivates the members, who are intrigued by the technical and scientific possibilities, and leads them into spirited discussions about its feasibility. The atmosphere is charged with enthusiasm and ambition as the members of the club debate the details of the project, setting the stage for an adventurous journey to come.
