The Man in the Moone Francis Godwin 第1 版

The Man in the Moone, written by Francis Godwin, was an influential work first published in 1638. In this fanciful tale the narrator, Domingo Gonsales, tells how he used a flock of birds to take him to the Moon. Here he discovers that the citizens of the Moon are Christians who live in a Utopian paradise. In this version, edited for Firestone Books, the spelling and punctuation have been modernized, and some minor amendments have been made. A glossary is also included.
