Description
The First Men in the Moon is the last in a series of scientific romances begun by Wells with The Time Machine. In the opinion of many, it is also the last in a series of pessimistic and anti-utopian novels before Wells took up the tone of an optimistic and utopian social prophet with Anticipations. The present critical edition of First Men questions that opinion.

This critical edition shows how First Men consciously builds on the whole literary tradition of moon voyages.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
