    One would think that after the momentous events of 1969 H.G Wells’ science fiction adventure “The First Men in The Moon” would have lost any fascination for the modern reader. 
    Yet of course, Wells is never concerned merely with the mechanics of science fiction. 
    It is surely the human reaction to these events that grips us and causes us to return again and again to this story. 
    Narrated by Simon Hester, with original music.

The book is the sailor Ishmael's narrative of the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaling ship Pequod, for revenge on Moby Dick, the giant white sperm whale that on the ship's previous voyage bit off Ahab's leg at the knee. A contribution to the literature of the American Renaissance, the work's genre classifications range from late Romantic to early Symbolist.
