First Men in the Moon

The book includes all 12 illustrations from the first edition and a beautiful cover with an image from the 1902 French movie Le voyage dans la lune.

SeaWolf Press is proud to offer another book in its H. G. Wells 100th Anniversary Collection. Each book in the collection contains the text, illustrations, and cover from the first or early edition (but it is not a photocopy.)

The First Men in the Moon (1901) is one of the most dazzling of Wells's "scientific romances," and the last of the series which began with The Time Machine. Leaving their humdrum lives in Kent, Mr. Bedford and Mr. Cavor invade the moon and are captured by the ant-like Selenites. They are forced to confront their own littleness when viewed in a cosmic perspective, and the result is a highly entertaining satire on imperialism in particular and human frailty in general.
