Autour De La Lune: Jules Verne

Écrit par Jules Verne

Raconté par Murielle Dubois

À bord de leur obus lancé depuis la Floride par le canon géant Columbiad, Michel Ardan, Impey Barbicane et le capitaine Nicholl sont en orbite autour de la Lune ; ils en découvrent l’atmosphère ainsi que la face cachée, où ils pensent apercevoir des villes, fugitivement révélées par la lumière d’un astéroïde en feu qui croise leur route. Cette rencontre fortuite dévie leur trajectoire, leur permettant ainsi d’échapper à l’attraction lunaire et de revenir sains et saufs sur Terre où ils amerrissent.

Jules Verne

Jules Gabriel Verne was born in the seaport of Nantes, France, in 1828 and was destined to follow his father into the legal profession. In Paris to train for the bar, he took more readily to literary life, befriending Alexander Dumas and Victor Hugo, and living by theatre managing and libretto-writing. His first science-based novel, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was issued by the influential publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel in 1862, and made him famous. Verne and Hetzel collaborated to write dozens more such adventures, including 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in 1869 and Around the World in 80 Days in 1872. In later life Verne entered local politics at Amiens, where had had a home. He also kept a house in Paris, in the street now named Boulevard Jules Verne, and a beloved yacht, the Saint Michel, named after his son. He died in 1905.
