G. Wells is a fantastical story of a journey to the Moon which leads to the discovery of a brand new species. A prominent literary figure, H. G. Wells is known as the \"father of science fiction\" for his influence and contribution to the genre. He wrote dozens of novels and short stories which covered the seemingly impossible, including space travel. Though Wells' writing is nothing less than magical and masterful, his work is well known to question everything from evolution and religion to the class system of Victorian England, and his progressive vision for a future-driven society is well captured in his stories.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe First Men in the Moon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e follows the narrator, a London businessman named Bedford and an eccentric scientist he meets in the countryside, Mr. Cavor.
