JOURNEY TO THE MOON (VOYAGE DANS LE LUNE)

,

A large nose is a sign that a man of wit, prudence, courtesy, a man that is sweet-talking, brave and liberal lives here, while a small nose is the sign of relevant defects…

Cyrano, the famous bignose and symbol of the utopian traveler, does not lose his humor on the Moon, giving credit to noses…

His journey gives us the opportunity to experience early science fiction and for him to criticize the morals of his time with humor, sarcasm and imagination. Deeply versed in the science and philosophy of antiquity up to that the present day, he invents -before they were actually invented- jet engines, the rocket, the microwave oven, the phonograph, the portable cassette recorder, electricity…

As for the moralists and the prim, they find a militant opponent, a sworn enemy. Thanks to Cyrano de Bergerac, made famous as a theatrical character by Rostand, we enjoy a unique Journey to the Moon  and meet one of the freest spirits of all time.
