| Summary |
"Ensimmäiset ihmiset kuussa" by H.G. Wells is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Mr. Bedford, an aspiring playwright, who meets the eccentric scientist Mr. Cavor. Together, they embark on an extraordinary adventure that leads them to the moon, exploring themes of scientific discovery and human ambition. At the start of the book, Mr. Bedford reflects on how his life has taken unexpected turns, particularly after meeting Mr. Cavor in the quiet town of Lympne. Bedford’s initial intent to write a play is interrupted by Cavor’s peculiar behavior, which captures his curiosity. As the two men converse, Cavor reveals his groundbreaking research into a material that negates gravity, and the conversation inadvertently sparks the idea of constructing a vessel to travel to the moon. Both characters become increasingly fascinated by the implications of this scientific endeavor, setting the stage for their adventurous journey into the cosmos.
