Reise eines Erdbewohners in den Mars by Carl Ignaz Geiger
"Reise eines Erdbewohners in den Mars" by Carl Ignaz Geiger is a satirical utopian short novel published in 1790. The anonymous narrator undertakes an interplanetary balloon voyage to Mars, where he encounters a civilization divided into four distinct states. As he journeys from one Martian society to another, he witnesses religious dogmatism, militaristic oppression, and finally a communal paradise without private property. Yet even utopia cannot overcome the pull of home. (This
