<dc:description id="description">Two British men become the first humans to reach the Moon.</dc:description>
<meta id="long-description" property="se:long-description" refines="#description">
&lt;p&gt;Mr. Bedford, an aspiring playwriter, moves to the British countryside in hope of writing a successful play that will solve his financial issues. There, he becomes acquainted with Mr. Cavor, an eccentric and reclusive scientist, who hopes to create an anti-gravitational material.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the two men accidentally create said material, they decide to use it to land on the Moon, Cavor motivated by new knowledge and Bedford by the prospective mining of lunar minerals. There, they meet an intelligent civilization of arthropoid extraterrestrials, who they name &lt;i&gt;Selenites&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First serialized between November 1900 and June 1901, the novel was released in a single volume the same year. By contrasting Selenite society with Human society of his period, &lt;a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/h-g-wells"&gt;Wells&lt;/a&gt; uses the plot to criticize Victorian ideas and profess eugenic and socialist ideas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After the two men accidentally create the material, they decide to use it to land on the Moon—Cavor motivated by expanding the realms of knowledge, and Bedford by the prospective mining of lunar minerals. There they meet an intelligent civilization of arthropoids whom they name the “Selenites.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First serialized between November 1900 and June 1901, the novel was published in a single volume the same year. By contrasting Selenite society with the society of Victorian England, &lt;a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/h-g-wells"&gt;Wells&lt;/a&gt; criticizes Victorian mores and professes eugenic and socialist ideas.&lt;/p&gt;
