Summary "De la terre à la lune: trajet direct en 97 heures 20 minutes" by Jules Verne is a science fiction novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the members of the Gun-Club, a group of American artillery enthusiasts led by the ambitious Impey Barbicane, who aim to send a projectile to the Moon after the end of the Civil War leaves them without conflicts to fuel their passion for invention. The opening of the book introduces the Gun-Club, formed during the American Civil War by passionate artillery experts who found success in a world of war, only to face a monotonous peace afterwards. This shift in focus leads Barbicane to propose the audacious idea of launching a projectile to the Moon, sparking excitement and fervor among the members. As the proposal is presented, its ambitious nature captivates the assembled crowd, igniting hope for a grand scientific endeavor that could elevate their status and fulfill their thirst for innovation and exploration.
