In Aztec mythology, after the humble god Nanahuatzin jumped into the sacrificial fire to become the sun god Tonatiuh, the proud, vain, rich, but hesitant god Tēcciztēcatl followed him into the fire becoming the second sun. However, the gods were so angry at Tēcciztēcatl's cowardice that they threw a rabbit in his face, dimming his light and leaving an imprint of the rabbit on the surface of the Moon.

A French translation by Jean Baudoin, L'Homme dans la Lune, was published in 1648, and republished four more times. [g] This French version excised the narrative's sections on Lunar Christianity, [37] as so do the many translations based on it, [38] including the German translation incorrectly ascribed [39] to Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen, Der fliegende Wandersmann nach dem Mond, 1659. [h] Johan van Brosterhuysen (c. 1594–1650) translated the book into Dutch, [41] and a Dutch translation– possibly Brosterhuysen's, although the attribution is uncertain [42]– went through seven printings in the Netherlands between 1645 and 1718. The second edition of 1651 and subsequent editions include a continuation of unknown authorship relating Gonsales' further adventures. [43] [44] [i] What a fun trip this was! Reading the book at the dawn of the 20th century must have been even more exciting I guess. The book also served as inspiration for C. S. Lewis' science fiction books. And of course Cavorite, the name of the antigravity mater The First Men in the Moon, Ch. 19. The unnamed narrator of The War of the Worlds experiences a similar sense of self-alienation.

Nothing else [Mulligan] has done... approaches the purity and perfection of The Man in the Moon. As the film approached its conclusion without having stepped wrong once, I wondered whether he could do it - whether he could maintain the poetic, bittersweet tone, and avoid the sentimentalism and cheap emotion that could have destroyed this story. Would he maintain the integrity of this material? He would, and he does. [9] Versions [ edit ]

My references are to the English translation of Kepler’s Dream with the full text and notes of the Somnium, sive astronomia lunaris , translated by P. F. Kirkwood and with an introduction by J. Lear (Berkeley and Los Angeles, UCLA Press, 1965). On the shortcomings of this version, especially the interpretation, see the review by D. P. Walker in The New York Review of Books , 7, 22 Sept. 1966, pp. 10-12. For an academically superior version, see E. Rosen, Kepler’s Somnium. The Dream, or Posthumous Work on Lunar Astronomy , London, Madison, Winsconsin University Press, 1967. Rosen suggests that the Somnium derives from an unpublished Tübingen dissertation of Kepler’s: see Appendix C and Introduction. The Somnium was probably composed in 1609. Kepler added extensive notes to the published version. See also, M. H. Nicolson, «Kepler, the Somnium and John Donne» in Science and Imagination , and Rosen, Kepler’s Somnium , Appendix E. Also D. H. Menzel, «Kepler’s Place in Science Fiction», in Kepler, Four Hundred Years. Proceedings of Conferences held in Honour of Johannes Kepler , ed. A. and P. Beer, Oxford, New York, etc., Oxford, New York, Pergamon Press, 1974, pp. 895-904. Bacon, The Advancement of Learning , I,v,7. The first edition of De mundo used a text prepared from two codex manuscripts in the library of Sir William Boswell, which were possibly among the Bacon papers acquired by Boswell. De mundo was also known to Thomas Harriot. See Kelly, The «De mundo» , I. 16. On Bacon and Gilbert, see M. Boas, «Bacon and Gilbert», Journal of the History of Ideas , 12 (1951), pp. 466-7, and Kelly, «Gilbert’s Influence on Bacon, a Revaluation», Physics 5 (1963), pp. 249-68.
