Friedrich Wilhelm Mader ~8 hr read

Aboard the marvelous world-ship Sannah, bold explorers voyage past the Moon toward Mars and beyond, a wonder-tale of space travel written for Germany's sons and daughters.

Friedrich Wilhelm Mader's 1911 novel is a rousing German juvenile space-adventure. Vivid, educational, of its era. Read it for a classic early German interplanetary tale, a grand voyage through the wonder-worlds of the solar system aboard a fantastic spaceship, steeped in the astronomy of its day, in the tradition of the Vernian scientific romance, here in the original German.
