L'autre monde; ou, Histoire comique des Etats et Empires de la Lune
"L'autre monde; ou, Histoire comique des Etats et Empires de la Lune" by Cyrano de Bergerac is a fantastical tale written around 1650. The narrator journeys to the Moon using ingenious contraptions, only to find himself deemed an animal by its inhabitants. In this inverted world, people walk on four legs, dine on smoke, and trade in poetry. Through encounters with lunar philosophers and otherworldly beings, the work satirizes religion, science, and
society while exploring radical ideas about the universe, existence, and humanity itself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
