This anthology revives two classic science fiction stories from the 19th century. The first tale, "The Moon Hoax," is inspired by the actual fabrication that took place in 1835. Detailing a series of six articles that were published in the New York Sun regarding the supposed discovery of life and even civilization on the Moon, this fascinating tale defines the power of myth, depicting how the newspaper’s readers were held in thrall for five days by the fanciful claims falsely attributed to famed astronomer Sir John Herschel. The second narrative, "The Unparalleled Adventures of One Hans Pfaall," penned by legendary author Edgar Allan Poe, marks the first attempt in literature to describe a space flight with scientific plausibility.
