    Jules Verne's 1869 novel Around the Moon, also known as Circling the Moon and All Around the Moon, is the follow-up to his 1865 book From the Earth to the Moon.

The massive Columbiad space gun fires the bullet-shaped projectile from the Baltimore Gun Club into space, along with its three occupants, Barbicane, Nicholl, and Michel Ardan, to begin the five-day voyage to the Moon.

    Raffles, a gentleman thief, is brash, debonair, devilishly attractive, and a top-notch cricket player. In these eight tales, the master thief indulges his love of cricket and his penchant for crime, robbing the nouveau riche, evading the cops, and, of course, bowling like a demon-all with the help of his resourceful sidekick, Bunny. Raffles and Bunny are two young males who do not want to work for a living despite having significant debt. To maintain their lifestyles of idle luxury, they turn to crime, notably burglary. Raffles is nearly superhuman, rational, and frigid. Because Bunny is so dumb, the reader enjoys knowing more than he does and snickering at everything he overlooks. It lacks any notable female characters and has some casual bigotry characteristics of the historical period. The actual burglary escapades are fine-not great or awful-but for me, the true enjoyment came from getting a glimpse into a brain and environment that seem fascinatingly foreign

    The human Drift is written by Jack London and revolves around the history of people traveling in quest of sustenance while brandishing swords. The story catches glimpses of ghost races in the foggy younger world, rising, killing, finding food, constructing crude civilizations, rotting, succumbing to the swords of stronger hands, and fading completely away. Like all other animals, man has roamed the earth looking for food. His great travels have not been motivated by romance or adventure, but rather by his desire to eat. Whether it's a broke gentleman setting sail for Virginia or a skinny Cantonese getting hired to work on Hawaii's sugar fields, gentleman or coolie, it's always a last-ditch effort to get some food or more food than he can get at home. The fundamental idea behind each evolution has persisted, although the actual outcomes are never the same twice. The man was not, was, and will not be again. The specific evolution of the solar satellite we refer to as "Earth" only took up a tiny fraction of time in eternity, which is beyond our comprehension. And only a small percentage of that little period is occupied by humans.
