"The Strange Voyage and Adventures of Domingo Gonsales, to the World in the Moon" by Francis Godwin is a work written in the late 1620s and published posthumously in 1638. This pioneering tale of lunar exploration follows Domingo Gonsales, a Spanish exile who discovers that trained birds can carry him through the air. When his ship is attacked, he escapes skyward—only to find himself journeying to the Moon, where he encounters a
utopian society of tall Christians and discovers magical stones with extraordinary properties before returning to Earth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
