(1957), "A Sixteenth-Century French Cosmic Voyage: Nouvelles des régions de la lune", Studies in the Renaissance, 4: 169–89, doi: 10.2307/2857145, JSTOR 2857145 No es el estilo, ni la forma en que está escrito, ni el tema. No se que fue. Wells escribió todo con el mismo formato solo que usando ideas distintas y con cambios en el desarrollo, pero tiene una formula muy bien construida, una fórmula que me funciono de maravilla en La Máquina del Tiempo y La Guerra de los Mundos, por desgracia en esta nueva novela me perdió en algún momento a mitad de desarrollo.

The influence of Wells's book is especially visible in Out of the Silent Planet, the first book of Lewis's Space Trilogy. There, too, a central role in the story line is played by a partnership between a worldly businessman interested in the material gains from space travel (and specifically, in importing extraterrestrial gold to Earth) and a scientist with wider cosmic theories. Herbert George Wells was born to a working class family in Kent, England. Young Wells received a spotty education, interrupted by several illnesses and family difficulties, and became a draper's apprentice as a teenager. The headmaster of Midhurst Grammar School, where he had spent a year, arranged for him to return as an "usher," or student teacher. Wells earned a government scholarship in 1884, to study biology under Thomas Henry Huxley at the Normal School of Science. Wells earned his bachelor of science and doctor of science degrees at the University of London. After marrying his cousin, Isabel, Wells began to supplement his teaching salary with short stories and freelance articles, then books, including The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898). Report of the 68th Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science 1898. 1899. London: Murray. p. 704.

a b Seters, W. H. van (1952–1954), "De nederlandse uitgaven van The Man in the Moone", Het Boek, 31: 157–72 In Japanese mythology, it is said that a tribe of human-like spiritual beings live on the Moon. This is especially explored in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Also in Lewis's book, the two quietly build themselves a spaceship in the seclusion of an English country house, and take off into space without being noticed by the rest of the world. (It may be noted that both Wells and Lewis, like virtually all science fiction writers until the 1950s, grossly underestimated the resources needed for even the smallest jaunt outside Earth's gravitational field.) Like Wells's book, Lewis's reaches its climax with the Earth scientist speaking to the wise ruler of an alien world (in this case Oyarsa, the ruler of Malacandra/Mars) and blurting out the warlike and predatory nature of humanity. The second adaptation was made in 1964. In this version, the men wear diving suits as spacesuits, which they do not do in the original novel. [ citation needed] According to Marjorie Nicolson ( Science and Imagination , pp. 32-4, 69-70), Kepler’s writings were known in England at this time. One of his most ardent admirers was Thomas Harriot. Kepler sent a copy of his De nova stella to James I in 1606, and dedicated Harmonice mundi (1619) to him. Both John Donne and Robert Burton were familiar with his writings — Nicolson, Science and Imagination , op. cit., pp. 58ff; W. Appelbaum, «Donne’s meeting with Kepler: a previously unknown episode», Philological Quarterly , 50 (1971), pp. 132-4; Burton, Anatomy , op. cit., p. 425.I do not remember before that night thinking at all of the risks we were running. Now they came like that array of spectres that once beleaguered Prague, and camped around me. The strangeness of what we were about to do, the unearthliness of it, overwhelmed me. I was like a man awakened out of pleasant dreams to the most horrible surroundings. I lay, eyes wide open, and the sphere seemed to get more flimsy and feeble, and Cavor more unreal and fantastic, and the whole enterprise madder and madder every moment.

In Chinese mythology, the goddess Chang'e is stranded upon the Moon after consuming a double dose of an immortality potion. In some versions of the myth, she is accompanied by Yu Tu, a Moon rabbit. [8] Another mythology tells the story of Wu Gang, a man on the Moon who is trying to cut down a tree that always regrows. [9]The events of The First Men in the Moon are used as the precursor to the player's adventure in Larry Niven and Steven Barnes' " Dream Park" series adventure novel, The Moon Maze Game, which describes a fantasy role playing game being played on (and televised from) a crater and tunnels on the Moon. Godwin, sig A3. The introduction to the German translation, Der fliegende Wandersman nach der Mond (...) A French translation by Jean Baudoin, L'Homme dans la Lune, was published in 1648, and republished four more times. [g] This French version excised the narrative's sections on Lunar Christianity, [37] as so do the many translations based on it, [38] including the German translation incorrectly ascribed [39] to Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen, Der fliegende Wandersmann nach dem Mond, 1659. [h] Johan van Brosterhuysen (c. 1594–1650) translated the book into Dutch, [41] and a Dutch translation– possibly Brosterhuysen's, although the attribution is uncertain [42]– went through seven printings in the Netherlands between 1645 and 1718. The second edition of 1651 and subsequent editions include a continuation of unknown authorship relating Gonsales' further adventures. [43] [44] [i]
