A well to do Victorian man abducts a woman aboard his ship and takes her on a tour of the solar system, meeting hostile martians (what a surprise!), kindly Venusians and angelic Ganymedians. Oh and two headed monsters! A delightfully naïve trip onto space, cliché ridden but good fun! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

One of the first novels about interplanetary travel, A Honeymoon in Space takes readers on a journey across the solar system Lenox, the Earl of Redgrave, has made the greatest scientific discovery in the history of the world: a flying ship with the power to break free of Earth's gravity and take to the stars. But before he uses it to expand humanity's understanding of the universe, he has some personal business to attend to-namely, wooing an old flame. ? The lady in question is Zaidie, the daughter of Lenox's colleague Professor Rennick. With Zaidie about to be forced into a loveless marriage, Lenox knows he must do something drastic. He steals her away and takes her out of this world-literally. Griffith's accounts of other planets are spectacularly engaging-from subterranean civilizations on the moon to the warlike Martians to the musical inhabitants of Venus. This remarkable adventure makes for a memorable honeymoon indeed. ? This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Each planet or moon they visit represents a potential view of the past or future of the human race. Its really quite good pulpy sci-fi and the female character is fairly strong for the time. ( )
