About This Item
Moscow & Leningrad, ONTI, 1935. 8:o. Portrait, 131,+ (1) pp. Illustrated. Publ. illustrated wrappers. Some wear to spine, corners slightly bumped. Published shortly after the author’s death in 1935 and printed in 20000 copies! The volume contains two of Tsiolkovsky’s early, didactic science fiction short stories, first published in 1893 and 1895 respectively, edited by his biographer and popularizer J. I. Perel’man, who has also added a short biography of the author. According to the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, the protagonists in On the Moon ”find themselves on the Moon caught in an educational dream”, while Dreams of Earth and Sky ”features an encounter with the alien inhabitants of the asteroid belt”. Some of the illustrations refer to events in the stories while others are strictly scientific or technical, underlining Tsiolkovsky’s ambition to educate his audience. With a lovely front cover depicting two men walking on the moon, one of them carrying a gun, and both dressed in clothes more suitable for a hunting trip!
