La suite de "De la terre à la lune", un peu en-dessous du précédent. L'intrigue est moins bien ficelé, et les descriptifs un peu longs, comme pour meubler.
Cela reste très agréable à lire et on passe un bon moment. ( )

Everything appears larger than life, and while readers see the daily work of traveling in space, the view never detracts from the romance of space travel. Indeed, Verne constantly reminds his audience that the real adventure lies in the dreaming of such a feat and then making the dream come true. ...Around the Moon invites readers to wonder at what humanity is capable of achieving, and such an invitation is good for any era. -- Masterpieces of Science Fiction

This is the sequel to Jules Verne's earlier book, From the Earth to the Moon. Basically, we have a cartographic exploration of the lunar body, and exploration. Those aboard must also struggle to find a way back to Earth safely, so that they may continue to go on living, and not be the first human corpsicles on record.
