English A Voyage to the Moon Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comical_History_of_the_States_and_Empires_of_the_Moon Produced by Marc D'Hooghe (Images generously made available by the Internet Archive) "A Voyage to the Moon" by Cyrano de Bergerac is a satirical novel written in the mid-17th century. The book explores fantastical themes of travel to other worlds, primarily focusing on the author's imaginative journey to the Moon. The narrative is driven by the character of Cyrano, a bold thinker who challenges accepted beliefs of his time, navigating through philosophical discussions and adventures in a surreal lunar landscape. At the start of the novel, the author recounts an evening spent with friends discussing the Moon and its mysteries. Inspired by a conversation about the celestial body, he becomes convinced that the Moon is another world, leading to an epiphany that prompts him to seek a method to travel there. He is soon caught in a series of whimsical events that involve various philosophical musings on the nature of the Earth and Moon, as well as encounters with peculiar characters, setting the stage for further exploration and adventure in the cosmos. The opening portions establish a light-hearted yet thought-provoking tone, blending humor with sci-fi elements and social commentary characteristic of de Bergerac's witty style.
