Books with title The First Moon Walk

When an eccentric scientist invents antigravity, he decides to build a spherical spaceship. He enlists the help of a London businessman to accompany him to the Moon. On arrival, they discover that the Moon is inhabited by a sophisticated extraterrestrial civilization. They must use their wits to avoid beasts and monsters, to survive their encounter with aliens, and to escape captivity.H. G. Wells is credited with the popularisation of time travel in 1895 with The Time Machine, introducing the idea of time being the "fourth dimension" a decade before the publication of Einstein's first Relativity papers. In 1896, he imagined a mad scientist creating human-like beings from animals in The Island of Doctor Moreau, which created a growing interest in animal welfare throughout Europe. In 1897 with The Invisible Man, Wells shows how a formula could render one invisible, recognizing that an invisible eye would not be able to focus, thus rendering the invisible man blind. With The War of the Worlds in 1898, Wells established the idea that an advanced civilization could live on Mars, popularising the term 'martian' and the idea that aliens could invade Earth.This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.

The First Men in the Moon is a scientific romance published in 1901 by the English author H. G. Wells, 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 civilization of insect-like creatures they call "Selenites."

When penniless businessman Mr. Bedford retreats to the Kent coast to write a play, he meets by chance the brilliant Dr. Cavor, an absentminded scientist on the brink of developing a material that blocks gravity. Cavor soon succeeds in his experiments, only to tell a stunned Bedford that the invention makes possible one of the oldest dreams of humanity: a journey to the moon. With Bedford motivated by money, and Cavor by the desire for knowledge, the two embark on the expedition. But neither are prepared for what they find—a world of freezing nights, boiling days, and sinister alien life, in which they may be trapped forever.

Description from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The genre of The First Men in the Moon by H. G. Wells is scientific romance – an archaic term used in Wells’ times for science fiction. Wells himself called the novel a fantastic story and it is indeed. The story published in 1901 describes a journey so unreal in Wells’ era that only a novelist with a wild imagination could create it – the journey of a group of men to the Moon where they encounter a highly developed and sophisticated civilization.The story starts when Bedford, the narrator, moves to Kent to get away from the city and to write a play which he hopes will help him solve his financial problems. He meets one of his neighbors, an eccentric scientist working on a new material that would defy the forces of gravity. They create a spaceship using the material and set off on a journey to the Moon.At first, they are convinced they will not find any form of life there, but the strange world they encounter on the planet is actually full of rapidly growing plants, large beasts and the intelligent, insect-like inhabitants of the moon called Selenites. The Selenites captivate the two humans, but they manage to break free, though only Bedford makes it back to their spaceship, the scientist being captivated by the Selenites again. The protagonist returns to Earth, but the story is far from over yet – there are lots of adventures to follow until the story comes to an end.The novel is one of Well’s enduring and timeless classics and certainly one of his most entertaining novels. Whether you are just familiarizing yourself with classic science fiction or you are already a fan, The First Men in the Moon is among the best and most exciting stories you will ever come across – just start reading, and you will not be able to put the story down until the last page.
