About this audiobook
Barbicane, Nicholl and Michel Ardan have left Earth inside a projectile launched towards the Moon. Their confidence in the undertaking soon meets circumstances that cannot be fully controlled from within a small metal capsule. The journey takes an unexpected course, leaving the travellers to observe, calculate and respond with the resources they have brought along.
Jules Verne turns the confined space of the projectile into a setting for scientific discussion, contrasting temperaments and moments of suspense. The companions try to understand what they see while confronting the practical demands of survival. Distance from Earth makes familiar assumptions less dependable, and cooperation becomes as necessary as technical knowledge.
This continuation of the lunar adventure combines curiosity about space with an examination of human ingenuity under pressure. The imagined voyage belongs to the scientific outlook of its time, exploring the appeal of discovery and the vulnerability of people who venture beyond their ordinary surroundings.
