El otro mundo es sin duda uno de los libros más sorprendentes de todos los tiempos, fruto de la imaginación de Cyrano de Bergerac, el comediógrafo, poeta, filósofo, espadachín y libertino francés del siglo XVII al que dio fama mundial la obra de Edmond Rostand. A través de la utopía, el viaje fantástico y la ciencia ficción, Cyrano fustiga los vicios de su época y toma partido por las concepciones entonces más avanzadas en la ciencia y la filosofía. Tras permanecer la obra censurada por la Iglesia durante doscientos años, a principios del siglo XX se descubrió un manuscrito completo del viaje a la Luna, gracias al cual ha llegado hasta nosotros uno de los mejores y más audaces escritores franceses del «Gran siglo» y de todos los tiempos; en esta ocasión por primera vez en español en edición crítica. A hodgepodgy book in which Cyrano appears to be experimenting with or mocking several different styles, as well as lecturing on or mocking a variety of scientific and religious ideas. Apart from the fun of recognizing things which Rostand referenced in writing his play, it is most fun as a sampling of ideas from its time and for its hints of Gulliver's Travels which was certainly influenced by it. By the time I finished reading I had stopped hearing it in Jose Ferrer's voice. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Cyrano's (the real guy) greatest work, model for much of Gulliver's Travels, Munchausen and so many other fantasy books. First published in the 17th Century (Paris, of course), this elegant satire takes its hero into the solar system, where he then can freely speak on matters of sex, religion and humanity. Join the big guy as he wanders about the solar system, meeting up with Beast-Men, the Solen people, and a rep from the Kingdom of Love. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I loved the way Cyrano incorporated classical myths, biblical figures, scientific and philosophical ideas. Indeed, Descartes has the last word in the novel; and Cyrano's depiction of Earthrise as seen from the moon is inspiring.
Much of the narrative is in the form of discourses between the hero and the beings he meets, and yet the plot follows a smooth transition from the earth, to the moon, to the earth, to the sun.
I was pleased to read somewhere that this is Quentin Blake's favourite story he has illustrated. I would have liked to find some of teh illustrations in colour, but these are all in B&W. ( )
