In 1861 a struggling playwright from Nantes traveled to the wildest parts of Norway with two friends. The experience transformed him, opening his eyes to exotic adventures—and to a new mode of writing. The sole surviving chapter of his autobiographical work, completed at about the same time as he met his lifelong publisher and surely his most personal piece, brilliantly recounts his reasons for travelling and his preparations in a henceforth “suffocating” Paris. None of his subsequent masterpieces would have been possible without Verne’s Joyous Miseries.

Come in tutti i suoi romanzi, Verne discute dettagliatamente ogni problema che si può presentare nello sparare un grande proiettile verso la luna. Molti calcoli puntuali sono accompagnati da una vena ironica che descrive le reazioni e i caratteri degli americani in previsione della grande impresa. Pubblicato nel 1846, è impressionante la somiglianza a quello che poi avvenne 104 anni dopo, anche se, ovviamente, con un finale diverso.
