L'Autre Monde ou Histoire Comique des États et Empires de la Lune (French Edition) by Cyrano de Bergerac, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Cyrano de Bergerac's comic voyage to the Moon, in the original French. Published in 1657, two years after his death, it follows the narrator's attempts to reach the Moon and his encounters with its strange inhabitants, using fantasy to mock the beliefs and authorities of his time. A forerunner of science fiction and an influence on Swift and Voltaire.
About this leather-bound edition
Each copy is bound by hand in genuine leather over sturdy boards, with decorative tooling and gold-tone foil lettering on the spine. Natural variation in grain, shade and foil impression is part of the character of every handmade book, so no two copies are exactly alike.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
