Description:

The First Men in the Moon finishes Well’s series of “scientific romances” which was begun by The Time Machine. Two gentlemen decided to give up their boring lives in Kent and make a trip to the moon, but there they got imprisoned by native inhabitants Selenites. Mr. Bedford and Mr. Cavor have to resist the circumstances. The First Men in the Moon is not just an entertaining science-fiction work but also a talented satire on imperialistic regime and human imperfection.
