The First Men in the Moon
Kitab haqqında
Before Star Wars and Apollo 11, there was this: mankind's very first voyage to the Moon—imagined by the father of science fiction.
The First Men in the Moon is H. G. Wells's thrilling and visionary tale of space travel, alien civilizations, and humanity's thirst for discovery. Written in 1901—decades before real-world rocketry—this classic novel paved the way for generations of science fiction writers and space dreamers.
A daring scientist. A reluctant businessman. An impossible journey.
When eccentric physicist Mr. Cavor invents a mysterious anti-gravity substance called Cavorite, he and businessman Bedford launch themselves to the Moon. But what they find is far beyond barren rock: a vast underground civilization teeming with insect-like beings—the enigmatic Selenites—whose world is as strange as it is dangerous.
A blend of cosmic wonder, social satire, and thrilling adventure.
Wells uses the voyage to explore class, imperialism, and the consequences of unchecked scientific ambition. With rich imagination and intellectual bite, The First Men in the Moon is both a page-turner and a provocative reflection on the human condition.
