A Voyage to the Moon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500799861)

Hercule-Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac (1619 - 1655) was a French dramatist and duelist. In fictional works about his life he is featured with an overly large nose, which people would travel from miles around to see. Cyrano de Bergerac's works L'Autre Monde: ou les tats et Empires de la Lune (Comical History of the States and Empires of the Moon) (published posthumously, 1657) and Les tats et Empires du Soleil (The States and Empires of the Sun) (1662) are classics of early modern science fiction. In the former, Cyrano travels to the moon using rockets powered by firecrackers and meets the inhabitants. The moon-men have four legs, musical voices, and firearms that shoot game and cook it.
