Synopsis

Comical History of the States and Empires of the Moon. (1657)

The States and Empires of the Sun. (1662)

Arguably Cyrano's greatest work and model for much of Gulliver's Travels, Munchausen and so many other fantasy books.

First published in the 17th Century, this elegant satire takes its hero into the solar system, where he can freely speak on matters of sex, religion and humanity. Join Cyrano as he wanders from the Earth to the Moon, meeting up with Beast-Men, the Solen people, and a representative from the Kingdom of Love.
