"The Strange Voyage and Adventures of Domingo Gonsales, to the World in the Moon" is a whimsical novel written in the mid-18th century. This fantastical tale follows the eponymous character, Domingo Gonsales, as he embarks on an extraordinary journey to the Moon, encountering unique creatures and societies along the way. The narrative is characterized by its blend of adventure, satire, and exploration of philosophical ideas concerning other worlds. At the start of the story, Domingo Gonsales reflects on his background and prior adventures, detailing his noble lineage from Seville and his experiences during a tumultuous life. He finds himself marooned on the remote Island of St. Helena, which is presented as a picturesque yet isolated locale, the ideal launching point for his ambitious plan of flight to the Moon using a machine connected to a flock of geese. After setting off, Gonsales navigates dangers, including savage tribes, and begins to confront surreal phenomena and otherworldly beings. The opening chapters set the tone for a grand adventure that promises not only physical exploration but also psychological experimentation with notions of gravity, desire, and the unknown.

Reading ease score: 29.4 (College graduate level). Very difficult to read.
