Summary "Da terra à lua, viagem directa em 97 horas e 20 minutos" by Jules Verne is a science fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the members of the Gun Club, who are armed with inventive military expertise, particularly in artillery, as they endeavor to send a projectile to the moon. Central to this endeavor is Impey Barbicane, the club's president, who proposes the ambitious project of launching a cannonball to the moon, sparking excitement and intrigue among the club members and the wider American public. The opening of the work introduces us to the Gun Club, established during the American Civil War among a group of inventive artillery enthusiasts in Baltimore. It explores their post-war discontent and eventual pivot toward a celestial goal, as Barbicane presents his groundbreaking idea of reaching the moon. The gathering is marked by a sense of thrill and anticipation, as members express both nostalgia for their military days and eagerness for this new venture. Barbicane’s audacious vision ignites fervor among the club and sets the stage for a series of collective discussions and scientific inquiries about the feasibility of their lunar mission.
