Book Description:
Wat doet een Amerikaan, als de Burgeroorlog is afgelopen en hij daarvoor geen kanonnen meer kan maken? Hij maakt een kanon om de maan te beschieten. Dit humoristische sciencefictionverhaal van Jules Verne was een van de eerste in het genre en gaf en passant een overzicht van de kennis van de astronomie rond 1870. (Bart de Leeuw)
