"A Voyage to the Moon" by George Tucker is a satirical novel written in the early 19th century. The book follows the adventurous journey of Joseph Atterley, a character who, after an extraordinary sea voyage, meets a learned Brahmin in the Burman Empire. Together, they plan a voyage to the moon, promising to explore the unique inhabitants and customs of the lunar world. At the start of the narrative, Atterley recounts his upbringing and early experiences, including his marriage and subsequent loss of his wife. Driven by grief and the desire for a new adventure, he embarks on a ship bound for the East Indies, where he becomes embroiled in conflicts and ultimately imprisoned. His fate changes upon meeting the Brahmin, who shares with him revolutionary ideas about lunar travel. The opening chapters set the stage for both Atterley's character development and the fantastical elements of scientific inquiry and exploration that will unfold as they prepare for their voyage to the moon.
