The First Men in the Moon is a scientific romance by the English author Herbert George (H. G.) Wells, originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from December 1900 to August 1901 and published in hardcover in 1901, who called it one of his "fantastic stories". The novel tells the story of a journey to the Moon undertaken by the two protagonists: a businessman narrator, Mr. Bedford; and an eccentric scientist, Mr. Cavor. Bedford and Cavor discover that the Moon is inhabited by a sophisticated extraterrestrial civilisation of insect-like creatures they call "Selenites".

Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 – 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography.His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback.

Descrizione prodotto

Descrizione del libro

The classic science fiction novel rejoins the Masterworks list in an affordable hardback format and a new introduction by Lisa Tuttle. --Questo testo si riferisce a un'edizione alternativa kindle_edition.

Dalla quarta di copertina

As I sit down to write here amidst the shadows of vine-leaves under the blue sky of southern Italy, it comes to me with a certain quality of astonishment that my participation in these amazing adventures of Mr. Cavor was, after all, the outcome of the purest accident. It might have been any one. I fell into these things at a time when I thought myself removed from the slightest possibility of disturbing experiences. I had gone to Lympne because I had imagined it the most uneventful place in the world. "Here, at any rate," said I, "I shall find peace and a chance to work!" And this book is the sequel. So utterly at variance is destiny with all the little plans of men. I may perhaps mention here that very recently I had come an ugly cropper in certain business enterprises. Sitting now surrounded by all the circumstances of wealth, there is a luxury in admitting my extremity. I can admit, even, that to a certain extent my disasters were conceivably of my own making. It may be there are directions in which I have some capacity, but the conduct of business operations is not among these. But in those days I was young, and my youth among other objectionable forms took that of a pride in my capacity for affairs. I am young still in years, but the things that have happened to me have rubbed something of the youth from my mind. Whether they have brought any wisdom to light below it is a more doubtful matter. --Questo testo si riferisce a un'edizione alternativa kindle_edition.

A very uniquely written novel , filled with suspense , surprises, wonder, and at times , a bit of amusement regarding some the language that was used within the novel. VERY "BRITISHY" , if you get what I mean. Very fulfilling read and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ! ! For the writings of H.G. Wells , this novel easily FLOWED , and , basically , was quite easy to read AS WELL AS being easier than Some other novels , Very Easy To Follow The Plotline ! ! NO PROBLEMS ! ! VERY RECOMMENDED NOVEL ! ! !

This was a book that I had always meant to read but never got around to doing. Therefore, after 40 years, I decided to take this off of my 'things to do' list. I think I made a correct choice because I do not think I would have appreciated it as much as I do now. I do not think it is as good as War of the Worlds, The Time Machine or The Invisible Man. However, I think these three mentioned novels are exceptional. The First Men in the Moon was very good. However, if H.G. Wells had only ever written this novel, I think it would stand in the pulp sci-fi sections like Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert Ervin Howard or Michael Moorcock. What I am trying to say is that the other novels put H.G. Wells in a classical writing frame. Whereas this marvellous novel seems to be more like good old pulp sci-fi. I enjoyed it immensely and would recommend it.

Before we reached the moon in the 1960’s there was vast speculation and science fiction based on what we might find. The logic behind this story is straight-forward and compelling. It represents what makes science fiction great.

It has been a while since I have read anything by H.G. Wells. So it was past time I revisited his work.

This is a wonderful story featuring a mad scientist who discovers a substance that is opaque to gravity, as told from the point of view of a failed businessman. The novel pre-dates Einstein's theory of General Relativity, which removes the concept firmly out of science fiction and into the realm of fantasy.

Wells creates a fully-functional world on the Moon with an alien biology that has adapted to the conditions of the Moon. It is masterful world building. We only see a small fraction of the Selenites' civilisation during the body of the main story. Wells appends several chapters to the end of the story to tell us more about them. They are unnecessary for the narrative of the story and seem like flab at the end but we do get to appreciate the time and effort he put into creating his aliens.
