description: It is the intention of Walter James Miller's Annotated Jules Verne Series - in which From the Earth to the Moon is the second volume - to reestablish Jules Verne in his rightful place in the minds and hearts of American readers.Miller began breathing new life into this novel by giving it an entirely new translation which succeeds as no other English version does in capturing the spirit of the original. The annotations enhance our pleasure and understanding with Miller's comments on Verne's sources, his scientific knowledge, his utopian views and his literary techniques. The fresh translation, the wealth of information about the author, and the delightful period illustrations, which include 50 from original French editions, make this revitalized science fiction classic a joy to read - and an appropriate celebratory toast to the genius of Jules Verne.
