He writes it so that one day, perhaps when he is dead, his grown son can read it and rediscover him as a friend and equal. In the process, ...

Die ersten Menschen auf dem Mond ist ein Roman des britischen Schriftstellers Herbert George Wells. Das Buch wurde zum ersten Mal 1901 unter dem Titel The First Men in the Moon veröffentlicht. Während eines Aufenthaltes auf dem Lande lernt der erfolglose Geschäftsmann und Theaterautor Bedford den eigenwilligen Wissenschaftler Cavor kennen. Cavor entwickelt in seinem Haus ein neues Material, auf das die Schwerkraft nicht wirkt; er gibt ihm dem Namen Cavorit. Cavor und Bedford, der Ich-Erzähler des Romans, bauen in Cavors Haus eine große Hohlkugel, in der sie zum Mond fliegen.

In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type. But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit. Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.

Writing this novel in 1923, H. G. Wells called it a “scientific fantasy.” He featured a utopia located in a parallel universe.

The year is 1898. Man’s fascination with scientific discovery has taken a most unexpected turn, as a cylinder originating from Mars has crashed into Earth in the English countryside.

When penniless businessman Mr Bedford retreats to the Kent coast to write a play, he meets by chance the brilliant Dr Cavor, an absent-minded scientist on the brink of developing a material that blocks gravity. Cavor soon succeeds in his experiments, only to tell a stunned Bedford 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.

There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
