Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Set against the backdrop of early 18th-century Britain, this satirical adventure blends fantasy with sharp political and social commentary. Through imaginative elements like a chariot pulled by winged steeds symbolizing the houses of parliament, the narrative critiques contemporary politics. Notably, it features one of the earliest depictions of a spaceship, contributing to its recognition as a proto-science fiction work. Defoe's exploration of the Moon and space travel adds a unique layer to the satire, reflecting the era's societal dynamics.
