Book Review: From the Earth to the Moon

Jules Verne’s From the Earth to the Moon is more than just a work of science fiction, it’s a looking glass into your inner child's curiosity and imagination as well as the past's view of the future.

The story is filled with unfiltered curiosity and optimism driving the human spirit of invention and exploration. Verne wrote the book long before the dawn of the space rocket and yet he dared to question and wonder the possibilities of what the future of science may hold.

What makes From the Earth to the Moon enduring is its look into the past’s view of the future. Verne imagined a journey to the moon through the lens of the technology of his time. While today's readers will view the science as outdated, it’s impossible not to admire the ambition and hope of a scientific dreamer. Verne’s story rekindles the magic of looking up at the stars in simple wonder and curiosity.

From the Earth to the Moon is a story that crosses generations and eras which can be read by the childhood dreamers and seasoned thinkers alike.

In short, this book isn’t just a piece of early science fiction, it’s an ode to imagination and enduring optimism. If you’ve ever looked at the night sky and wondered what lies beyond, From the Earth to the Moon is your invitation to wonder all over again.
