     In a previous posting some one mentioned the historical De Bergerac's
     story

     Voyage a la lune( sur la lune? i forget) anyway, is this in print? i
     have had

     a horrible time finding it. id love to read the death of agrippina as
     well,

     but cant find that either. can any one help me? also, though i can speak

     french pretty well, id really prefer a translation of it into english.

     speaking of this sort of thing, has anyone out there read Ludwig
     Holberg's

     book...something like the subteranian journey of Niels Klim...something
     like

     that. its along the lines of Gullivers travels and such. late 16th
     century, i

     think.

     i think these stories are the forerunners of sci-fi, kinda made the
     transition

     between folklore and science. fascinating stuff however you categorize
     it.

         The title is: "L'Histoire comique des ���tats et empires de la lune"
         (1656),

         but I have no idea where you'd find a copy. Maybe check out a local

         university library?

              I'd try a Web search and see if it's online anywhere.

              Bonne chance!
