As with almost all fiction, science or otherwise, I find myself unsatisfied with the ending. Also, it left me wondering, without checking publication dates, who influenced who with the Grand Lunar/ Wizard of Oz caricature: Wells, Baum or Langley. I actually know the answer to that, but I did dwell upon it for a while. ( ) Hmm... quite weak for Wells I think. An interesting (if not now void) concept concerning life within the Earth's Moon. I enjoyed it quite thoroughly at first, but it drags out for 203 pages what could have been wrapped up nicely in 120. There isn't much story, and the events that happen are few and unvaried. The book itself technically finishes after around 160 pages, but then the narrator resumes his writing in order to add in some more closing details. I like how Wells imagines the moon as a snowy wasteland, dead and freezing at night and luminous and rich with alien vegetation in the day. The moon beings (selenites) I didn't find to be particularly interesting and the most we really experience of them are the some bug-like lunar cowboys and cattle. I guess it didn't help too much that I read Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis first, in which there is contained a spoiler - thanks, Lewis. Ah well, First Men in the Moon is certainly worth a read nonetheless, especially if you're a Wells fan (guilty). Though be warned, it is not without its “tumults". La confrontación entre la fantasía de Wells y la realidad actual, es obvia. El hombre ha conquistado la Luna y conoce sus posibilidades, cuando menos a primera vista. Sin embargo, hallamos en la obra de H. G. Wells, autor de formación liberal y romántica imaginación, un encanto dificil de superar. Constituye un alarde de audacia en la época en que fue escrita. Tiene algo de las utopías sociales, que suscitaron en su momento violentas polémicas, y mucho de anticipación científica en un sentido que va más allá de lo estrictamente técnico, al poner de relieve las posibilidades de un Universo relativo, asombroso e incoquistado. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: H. G. Wells' 1901 science fiction novel The First Men in the Moon tells the story of a voyage to the moon by Mr. Bedford, a businessman plagued by financial problems, and Dr. Cavor, a brilliant and somewhat eccentric scientist. On arrival they discover that the moon is already inhabited by an advanced underground civilization of insect-like beings who they call "Selenites". This forward-looking novel, critical of the imperialism of Wells' time, looks at the clash of civilizations and suggests a reflection of how humanity might develop in the future. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
