Sinopse

In "A Voyage to the Moon," Cyrano de Bergerac crafts a satirical and imaginative narrative that transcends the conventions of 17th-century literature. Blending elements of science fiction and fantasy, the novel follows the protagonist's fantastical journey to the Moon, where he encounters a society defined by a distinct rationality and an absence of earthly concerns. De Bergerac employs a witty and incisive literary style, incorporating philosophical reflections on human nature, society, and the limitations imposed by terrestrial existence. As a precursor to later science fiction, the work critiques contemporary politics and explores utopian ideals, all while engaging the reader's imagination with its vibrant and whimsical prose. Cyrano de Bergerac, a French playwright and novelist, was emblematic of the Enlightenment spirit. His own experiences as a soldier and philosopher shaped his critical view of society and his fascination with the cosmos. Living in an era marked by conflict and inquisitive thought, de Bergerac's bold exploration of extraordinary realms directly reflects his desire to challenge established norms and provoke intellectual discourse. His unique perspective and personal struggles reveal the deeper motivations behind his fantastical themes. I highly recommend "A Voyage to the Moon" for readers captivated by innovative storytelling that combines humor with profound philosophical inquiry. This work not only entertains but invites contemplation about our place in the universe and the boundaries of human aspiration. Whether you are a fan of satire, adventure, or speculative fiction, this timeless narrative will inspire your imagination and expand your horizons.

    “If John Steinbeck’s mighty Grapes of Wrath is the tragic novel of the Great Depression, then Heaven’s My Destination is its comic masterpiece. —J.D. McClatchy 
    A hilarious tale about goodness in a fallen world, Heaven’s My Destination introduces George Marvin Brush, one of Thornton Wilder's most memorable characters. Brush, a traveling textbook salesman, is a fervent religious convert who is determined to lead a good life. With sad and sometimes hilarious consequences, his travels take him through smoking cars, bawdy houses, banks, and campgrounds from Texas to Illinois—and into the soul of Depression-era America itself. 
     
    This special edition includes an afterword by Wilder’s nephew, Tappan Wilder, with illuminating material about the author and book.
