A Voyage to the Moon

Richard Aldington

Cyrano's (the real guy) greatest work, model for much of Gulliver's Travels, Munchausen and so many other fantasy books. First published in the 17th Century (Paris, of course), this elegant satire takes its hero into the solar system, where he then can freely speak on matters of sex, religion and humanity. Join the big guy as he wanders about the solar system, meeting up with Beast-Men, the Solen people, and a rep from the Kingdom of Love.

Extrait : "La Lune était en son plein, le ciel était découvert, et neuf heures du soir étaient sonnées lorsque nous revenions d'une maison proche de Paris, quatre de mes amis et moi. Les diverses pensées que nous donna la vue de cette boule de safran nous défrayèrent sur le chemin."

L'Autre Monde

'Viagem à Lua' se organiza segunda a tópica do 'mundo de ponta-cabeça', dupla metáfora para o caso em pauta - a vida na Lua como ponto de vista para pensar a da terra. O texto mistura descrições e diálogos das aventuras do narrador na Lua, através dos quais são postas em cena as concepções cosmológicas geradas por filosófos, teológos e cientistas da tradição ou de sua época. Paralelamente, ao contrastar a vida cotidiana dos selenitas (habitantes da Lua) com a da terra, o autor efetua uma demolidora crítica dos costumes da sociedade cortesã. Este volume vem acompanhado de diversas cartas do autor, além de notas e posfácio.
