The First Men in the Moon

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.
