Later edition of Verne's classic novel. Octavo, original publisher's orange cloth decorated in gilt, tissue-guarded frontispiece, illustrated with twelve black-and-white plates inserted throughout. Boldly signed on the half-title page and facing page in black felt tip by three Apollo astronauts and two members of the support staff: "Frank Borman Apollo 8 CDR"; "Dee O'Hara Astronaut Nurse"; "Walt Cunningham Apollo 7 LMP"; "Charlie Duke Apollo 16 LMP"; "Gerry Griffin Apollo Flight Director Mission Control." Jules Verneās From the Earth to the Moon exhibits striking parallels to the real-life Apollo program, particularly Apollo 8, the first U.S. manned mission to orbit the Moon. Like Verne's fictional launch, the actual mission was carried out by a three-man crew, launched from Floridaā"a location chosen after the dismissal of Brownsville, Texas, much like the novelās own geographic deliberations. Apollo 8 lifted off in December and concluded with a splashdown and recovery in the Pacific Ocean, mirroring Verneās imaginative depiction of a lunar voyage that anticipated many of the missionās logistical realities. In very good condition. A unique piece of aeronautical history. Jules Verne is widely held as āone of the two founding fathers of science fictionā"the other being H.G. Wellsā (Clute & Nicholls, 1275). Written almost a century before the flights of the astronauts, Jules Verne's prophetic novel of man's race to the stars is a classic adventure tale enlivened by broad satire and scientific acumen. From the Earth to the Moon is āthe first interplanetary novel to focus on the technical and organizational preparations for the voyage, using the actual blast-off as a climax, introducing thereby a new narrative realismā¦ And a Trip Around It continues the story by describing the experiences of the intrepid voyagers as they observe the Moon en passant before a slingshot effect hurls them earthward again. The couplet is one of the definitive foundation stones of the science fiction genreā (Barron:II:1180).
