A Voyage to the Moon

by Cyrano de Bergerac

Cyrano reaches the Moon by methods involving bottles of dew and, later, rockets. The lunar inhabitants walk on four legs and challenge nearly every earthly certainty he brings with him. This seventeenth-century satire is among the collection’s oldest impossible voyages.
