Stories haven been told about the man on the moon and later some writers have sent Their heroes up there. As in Jules Verne The moon voyjage or in Herbert George Wells The First Men in the Moon:
The Latter was a British author (1866-1946) who worked as a teacher and journalist before he Became a writer. His book were to instant success. This might be true to the factthat he not only was a pioneer in science fiction but hey so what a philosopher and a social visionary.
What is the spirit in man that orges him fo ever to depart from happiness to security, to toil, to place himself in danger?
In The First Men in the Moon, the Moon is not a deserted place like we know now, but it is full with mooncalfs and Their shepherds the Selenites. The two travelers from earth and get caught while Cavor tries to understand and communicate with them, Bedford does not think they can be trusted.
The story is at the beginning sometimes funny sometimes tiresome. But later on the dull part Disappears and the excitement and philosophy begins.

In the case of the Selenites the specialization is not made by nature, the elder ones prepare the young for there Selenites Later Life. confined in jars from Which only the fore limbs protrudes, who were being compressed to become machine-minders and now he Compares it with life on earth, of course, it is really in the end a far more humane than our earthly proceeding method of leaving children to grow into human beings, and then making machines of them.
The Selenites live in peace on Their planet and can not understand the human beeings.you Mean That You run about over the surface of your worldkillimg one another for beasts to eat?
The First Men in the Moon is not only a really good science fiction story Which was written more than a hundred years ago but it is a book with so many things to hink about.
