H G Wells, First Men in the Moon, Audio book [ogg] [radioCat]

The First Men in the Moon by H. G. Wells, 1901 Audio book read by Mark F. Smith The First Men in the Moon is a 1901 scientific romance novel by the British author H. G. Wells. The novel tells the story of a journey to the moon undertaken by the two main protagonists, the impoverished businessman Mr Bedford and the brilliant but eccentric scientist Dr Cavor. On arrival, Bedford and Cavor find the moon inhabited by an extra terrestrial civilization the two name as "Selenites." The novel can also be read as a critique of prevailing political opinions of the period, particularly of imperialism. The theme of a clash between civilizations is reminiscent of Wells' earlier and more famous work, The War of the Worlds. As in The War of the Worlds, it is hinted that the non-human civilization presented might reflect the way human society would develop in the far future. As such, the Selenite society depicted could be considered either a utopia or a dystopia, depending on which of its features one emphasizes. (Wikipedia) LibriVox: free audiobooks "LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain and release the audio files back onto the net. Our goal is to make all public domain books available as free audio books." (http://librivox.org/) There are in the order of 1500 titles in the LibriVox collection. Some of the volunteer readers are to be thanked for their generous enthusiasm rather than their reading eloquence. Others really are well read indeed, as I found with H.G Well's "The First Men in the Moon".
